The Cornerstone Award is the highest award a constituent Chapter can bestow upon one of their members. Recipients of this award are outstanding members of their Chapter who have rendered great service to their Chapter, promoted it and Capitular Masonry at every opportunity, and have generously given their talents, time, and effort. A constituent Chapter may award one Cornerstone Award per year, and the Chapter does not have to make the award each year.
In 2025, Richmond Chapter voted to honor Past High Priest David Berndt with the Cornerstone Award, presented on November 14, 2025.
For the first time in its history, Richmond Chapter and Council hosted a Degree Festival, bringing 21 new Companions into the York Rite from several different Chapters and Councils around the state. Our thanks to the many Companions who helped us be successful in this endeavor, and congratulations to the 21 new Companions!
Richmond Chapter welcomed our newest Companion at the Chapter & Council Festival with three of Richmond Chapter's Officers participating in the Degrees.
On Thursday 14 October 2021, Richmond Chapter, in conjunction with Richmond Council, honored several teachers from Jane Long Elementary by providing them with a wonderful meal and a program, culminating in the presentation of honorariums of $250 each.
