Welcome to the NH Consistory web site. We hope that you will find this web site a good place to increase your understanding and knowledge regarding Scottish Rite Freemasonry as well as a current calendar of upcoming events.

 My name is George Kendall Bemis Jr., or just ‘Ken’ to all my friends and Brethren.

Freemasonry has been an important part of my life for over 25 years. It is my distinct honor to have been elected Commander–in-Chief of N. H. Consistory, an organization made up of the finest men I have ever known.

I encourage every Mason to join our organization and work with us to continue our charitable good works.

What is Consistory? Consistory is a body that is statewide. Consistory offers degrees from 19th degree to the 32nd degree. A blue Lodge Mason must petition to join a local valley for the 4th to 18th degree first. Then once a year an reunion is held on a Saturday when a person can see the degrees required for them to become a 32nd degree Mason. Many brothers return in future years to fill in on the degrees that were not offered the day they became a 32nd degree Mason and this is why it is called a reunion. The office for administration of Consistory is in the Nashua Masonic Temple building. The head of the body is called Commander-in-Chief.
