For generations, our Chapter has provided Master Masons with opportunities to deepen their understanding of Freemasonry through the Royal Arch Degrees, meaningful ritual, fellowship, and education. While we are committed to preserving the traditions and excellence of Pennsylvania Royal Arch Masonry, we also believe that the strongest bonds of brotherhood are built through genuine friendship, shared experiences, and enjoying one another's company.
Whether you are a longtime Companion or are simply interested in learning more about Capitular Masonry, we invite you to explore our history, our traditions, and the welcoming spirit that continues to define our Chapter.
Take the Next Step in Freemasonry...
For many Master Masons, the Masonic journey continues long after receiving the Third Degree. The Royal Arch Degrees build upon the lessons of Craft Masonry, offering a richer understanding of its history, symbolism, and enduring teachings. At Perseverance Royal Arch Chapter No. 21, you'll find meaningful ritual, engaging education, lasting friendships, and a welcoming group of Companions who are committed to preserving our traditions while enjoying the fellowship that makes our Chapter unique.
More Than a Meeting
Perseverance Royal Arch Chapter No. 21 is a place where tradition and friendship come together. We are committed to preserving the excellence of Pennsylvania Royal Arch Masonry through meaningful ritual and Masonic education while fostering a Chapter where fellowship, laughter, service, and lasting friendships are just as important. Whether gathered for a stated meeting, conferring a degree, supporting the Ronald McDonald House, or simply enjoying each other's company, we believe the strongest Chapters are built on both exceptional ritual and genuine brotherhood.
Ritual with Purpose
Our ritual is at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to preserving the traditions of Pennsylvania Royal Arch Masonry while providing engaging education that brings our degrees, history, and symbolism to life.
The Fun Chapter
Royal Arch Masonry is about more than meetings. It's about building lasting friendships with Companions who enjoy fellowship, laughter, and supporting one another. We take our ritual seriously—but we never forget to have fun along the way.
Beyond the Red Room
Some of our best memories are made outside our meetings. From our annual gathering at ABC Brewery to bowling nights and other outings, we enjoy building friendships that last well beyond the Chapter room.
Charity in Action
Our support of Ronald McDonald House Charities® reflects our commitment to service. From our auctions and collecting soda tabs to preparing meals for guest families, we are proud to support the Grand Chapter of Pennsylvania's official charity.

Make Your Mark
Since 1863, every Companion exalted in Perseverance Royal Arch Chapter No. 21 has left his unique Mark as part of our history. Our digitized Book of Marks preserves the legacy of generations of Royal Arch Masons—from distinguished leaders such as Simon Cameron and Past Grand High Priests to the Companions who continue that tradition today.
