Click here to see the D.C. Grand Cryptic Council Constitution & Code
All of the Cryptic Councils in Washington DC meet on the 4th Monday of each month (except July and August), at Singleton Masonic Hall, 4441 Wisconsin Ave NW (near the Tenleytown Metro station).
All Cryptic Masons (in some jurisdictions they are called Royal and Select Masters) are welcome to attend the meetings of the Washington DC Cryptic Councils. In addition, members of Royal Arch Chapters in Virginia and West Virginia are welcome to attend meetings of D.C. Cryptic Councils, since the Cryptic or Council degrees are included in Royal Arch Chapters in those two states.
