Knights of the York Cross of Honour is a honorary group
of York Rite Masons who are dedicated to serving the
Masonic Fraternity as a Labor of Love. No individual
should aspire to membership in KYCH, when he has done
the required work, and done it well, he will be invited
to membership. Those who labor properly will be rewarded
by being invited.
Membership in the Knights of the York Cross of Honour
cannot be applied for, it cannot be bought or sought.
In order to be considered for membership, a proposed
candidate must have served as:
Worshipful Master of a Masonic Lodge
High Priest of a Royal Arch Chapter
Thrice Illustrious Master of a Council of Royal and
Select Masters
Eminent Commander of a Commandery of Knights Templar
The meaning of membership in K.Y.C.H. can best be
explained by a closing statement of Most Eminent Knight
Donald E. Friend, Grand Master General, at his Convent
General Session in 1995 , "As a Knight of the York Cross
of Honour, you are a proven servant of the Masonic
Fraternity , your inspiration has came from your Past,
your duty is in the present , your Hope is in the
Future, I ask you always to remember—In all you do , In
all you say, In all of your actions, take a good look at
yourself, you are someone's impression of Freemasonry ".
