We held our Annual Inspection jointly with St. Bernard Commandery No. 35 on Saturday, 23 January 2010 C.E. (892 A.O.), under the direction of Sir Knight Charles E. Hileman Jr., V.E. Deputy Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the State of Illinois. Sir Knight Hileman was quite pleased with our ritual, floor-work, and records. Upcoming Conclaves Schedule publication pending. Historical Photo Essays St. Bernard Commandery No. 35, with whom we share a substantial membership, have recently digitised, captioned, and posted the contents of several amateur photographic albums and scrapbooks. Images include 68 of the 1898 Triennial Conclave in Pittsburgh, 62 of the commandery's trip to the 1904 Triennial Conclave in San Francisco & Saint Louis World's Fair, 91 of the 1910 Triennial Conclave in Chicago, and 23 of our semi-sesquicentennial anniversary celebration in 1945, along with many other events. About Us Named in honour of Saint Albertus Magnus, O.P., Doctor Universalis, (1193/1206-1280 C.E.), Albertus Magnus Commandery of Research No. 92 is stationed at Jefferson Park Masonic Temple, Chicago. Our conclaves, however, are held throughout the state, and feature scholarly lectures. Just as lodges of research and chapters of research typically do not confer degrees, neither does our commandery of research confer orders. Our inspections are conducted jointly with St. Bernard Commandery No. 35 or another commandery. Consequently, membership is open only to those Freemasons who have already received the chivalric orders in a customary commandery. Our officers are [generally] all Eminent Past Commanders, many of whom have been decorated by the Grand Commandery of Illinois for their outstanding contributions.
