It is the duty of every companion as soon after his election to the office of High Priest as is consistent with his personal convenience, to apply for admission to the order of High Priesthood, that he may be fully qualified properly to govern his Chapter.
The Masonic Manual, Robert Macoy, 1867
The Order holds an annual meeting, called a “Convention,” each summer to confer the degrees, hold elections and conduct business. The degree team which confers the Holy Order of High Priesthood is comprised entirely of Past Grand High Priests.
