As part of the 4th Degree by-laws, the Master is required to have a biennial meeting every 2 years in the even numbered years in March or April. The next biennial meeting will be hosted at the Hillsboro Columbus Club across from St Matthew in Hillsboro. The meeting will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2026 at 9:00 AM. The meeting will start with attending Mass at 8:15am. I encourage as many assemblies as possible ensure that they are represented at this meeting. Each Faithful Navigator of the assembly is a delegate and an Assembly is allowed 1 additional delegate for each 100 members or major portion of the assembly’s membership roster as of January 1, 2026. The mission of the meeting will be two-fold. A formal agenda will be provided to report on old and new business, any directives provided by Supreme, the Supreme Master, Vice Supreme Master and myself and discussion and voting on three names for the next term for the Master position and any proposed resolutions. Second is to have an open forum to solicit input as to the direction of the Oregon District’s 4th Degree in an effort to rejuvenate and move forward working closely with our councils to grow as an Order in our programming and membership. Please encourage your officers and members to attend this meeting so that we can meet, chat and grow in fraternity and patriotism. Thank you in advance for your assistance, support, effort and participation. Vivat Jesus, Duane Morris District Secretary
