A Solemn Investiture: Honolulu Chapter Welcomes New Knights of St. Andrew

Following the Valley of Honolulu’s March Stated Meeting, the Knights of St. Andrew—Honolulu Chapter conducted a memorable Knighting Ceremony that left a lasting impression on all in attendance. The solemn and inspiring proceedings were led by Knight Commander Gino Soquena, 32°, and Lt. Knight Commander Gerard Beckley, 32°, whose leadership set a reverent tone for the evening.

Owing to the open nature of the ceremony, many Scottish Rite brethren gathered to witness the ritualistic investiture—an experience that, for many, was both rare and deeply meaningful. The ceremony offered a glimpse into the traditions and values upheld by the Knights of St. Andrew, highlighting their commitment to service, fellowship, and Masonic excellence.

The Honolulu Chapter proudly welcomed three new Knights into its ranks. Each new member brings with him a strong dedication not only to the Scottish Rite but to Freemasonry as a whole, reinforcing the Chapter’s mission and vitality within the Valley of Honolulu.

The evening stood as a powerful reminder of the enduring traditions of the Rite and the shared bond that unites its members.
