Ambrosio A. Flores Chapter, Order of DeMolay

21 in their years of formation. Believing that the ages between 12 and 21 years are a boy's period of formation, we do our best to inculcate into the hearts of these young men, virtues which are very much needed in order to achieve their potentials. A typical meeting of the Chapter, begins not only within the confines of the Chapter room. Even without, the members of the Chapter, full of ideas on how to improve the organization, and the members as well, discuss matters which, to someone outside the organization, is inconceivable, for a young man to concern himself. Within the Chapter, we take our rituals seriously, for our ritual separates us from the others. Once the Books of Faith are opened, the schoolbooks set at the Altar, and the flag, mightily standing guard to protect all within, and most importantly, the Grand Creator, silently keeping watch, we do our best to perform that which every other young man who is part of our DeMolay family does best--- a proficient ex*****on of our rituals. Outside, we project an image of law abiding citizens. We project an image of young men doing their best to perpetuate and protect the public schools. We project an institution that is charitable. However, these projections are not like empty shells. We live by what we project. The young men who were once noisily chatting, bantering, and teasing one another, will grow into manhood and will become successful in their own chosen fields, and when they see another young brother DeMolay, still learning the ropes, they will smile and their hearts will be filled with gladness, for they will be looking at a reflection of themselves, many years ago. They will smile and be glad for they are sure, that the young man they are looking at, will surely become a treasure, not only to their beloved fraternity, but more importantly, to their beloved country. For that is how a true Ambrosio DeMolay is distinguished. He bears with him with dignity, that which his elder brothers have so long a time established. He bears with him the gift of being a member of the Ambrosio Flores Chapter. But this gift does not come cheap. And here lies the challenge to the members, to strive to be the best, to prove that we are indeed worthy bearers of the ideals of the namesake of the Order, and of the Chapter. For we are the members of the Ambrosio A. Flores Chapter. For more info please feel free to message us.
