The spirit of Scottish Rite Freemasonry was proudly on display as Ivalda Sovereign Chapter No. 77 and Melbourne Sovereign Chapter No. 68 came together for a joint meeting at the Inner Eastern Masonic Centre, Box Hill, on Tuesday, 21 July 2026.

The highlight of the evening was the Perfection Ceremony, during which four worthy Brethren were welcomed into the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (Scottish Constitution) as Excellent and Perfect Companions. We extend our sincere congratulations to:

• Ex. & Perf. Comp. Clovis Nehme
• Ex. & Perf. Comp. Henry Zhang
• Ex. & Perf. Comp. Thena Nadarajah
• Ex. & Perf. Comp. Andrew Lu

The meeting also provided an opportunity for Ivalda Sovereign Chapter No. 77 to warmly welcome two joining members, Ex. & Perf. Comp. Carl Donadio and Ex. & Perf. Comp. Spiro Perdikomatis. We wish them every success, friendship and fulfilment as they continue their Scottish Rite journey with their new Chapter.

Joint meetings such as this highlight the strength and unity of the Province of Victoria, bringing Companions together in fellowship, ceremony and a shared commitment to the enduring principles of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.

Congratulations to all those involved in making the evening such a memorable and successful occasion.
