Appendant Masonic Bodies in Venezuela
The Supreme Confederate Council of the 33rd Degree for Venezuela was established in 1840 and is one of the oldest Scottish Rite bodies in South America. The High Masonic Council for the York Rite is also active. Venezuela's Bolivarian Masonic heritage makes it a particularly significant destination for Masons interested in the history of South American independence.
The Scottish Rite operates in Venezuela with bodies in Caracas. York Rite bodies and allied organizations have historically been active in Venezuela's lodge communities, though the current political situation has affected all civil institutions including the fraternity's appendant bodies. Visiting Masons should confirm current operational status with the grand lodge before any lodge visit.
