HIRAM N°6

in Geneva in French

Since the chapters of the Royal Arch are generally connected to a blue lodge, the master masons of the Respectable Lodge Hiram 80 of the Swiss Grand Lodge Alpina (GLSA) in the east of Geneva decided to found a chapter with the same name. «Hiram».

​

This situation was not common in Switzerland, as the Royal Arch was administered by the National Grand Chapter HELVETIA of the Royal Arch Masons, independently of the GLSA.

​

After making contact with the national Grand chapter HELVETIA, these 22 companions from the chapters Henri Dunant N ° 2 and Imhotep N ° 5 met to add the Hiram chapter to the register of the Helvetia major chapter on April 9, 2011 in the Hotel Warwick in Geneva to be entered.

​

The Hiram chapter was then placed in 6th place, taking into account the five other existing chapters in Switzerland.

​

The benevolent reception of the Grand chapter was facilitated by the option of the companions to remain in double affiliation with their chapter.

​

Chapter Hiram 6 is an association within the meaning of Article 60 ff. Of the Swiss Civil Code. Its headquarters are in Geneva. This chapter works four times a year in the Masonic rooms on Rue de la Scie.

​

His ritual corresponds to the domatic traditions.
