January weather was no deterrent from installing 2020 Scottish Rite Masters and Line Officers, the Cathedral Board, Scottish Rite Foundation of Omaha Board members, and Knights of St. Andrew. On Monday, January 20, 2020, Andrew Muska, 32° KCCH was installed as Venerable Master for the Lodge of Perfection; Mark Pilley, MD, 32° was installed as Wise Master for the Chapter of Rose Croix, James Carter, 32° as Eminent Commander for the Council of Kadosh, and Donald Leu, Sr., 32° KCCH as Master of Kadosh for the Omaha Consistory (Consistory officers pictured below). Kyle Beckner, 32° was installed as Venerable Master for the Knights of St. Andrew.
Paul Rutherford, 33°, Personal Representative to the SGIG, served as Installing Master, and Frank Kroupa, 33° as Installing Marshal.
The four incoming Masters presented the outgoing Masters with a Past Masters jewel for their Scottish Rite body and words of wisdom as they begin the new year.
Afterward, members, ladies and guests enjoyed a catered dinner of pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, and rolls with the KSA serving ice cream for dessert. Andrew Muska served as Master of Ceremonies for the evening, a role held by the Venerable Master for the Lodge of Perfection.
