The Allied Masonic Degrees is an educational group within the York Rite of Freemasonry. Membership is invitational to Royal Arch Masons.
Those who support Masonic education believe a deeper understanding of Freemasonry nourishes a stronger commitment. This annual event is one of the ways we serve.

Best wishes for the event.
Here in Canada (as in England), the St. Lawrence is conferred on all candidates for the AMD as their entry degree. The other degrees are done whenever the Council wants.
I've done the lectures in the St. Lawrence, Kts. of Const. and the Ts. of Solomon and enjoy the degrees very much.
