The CMSB XXXIX Assembly began last Saturday in Belem and continues until 15th of July and brings together the Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries on Foreign Affairs from all over Brazil, Masons and their families that participate in the debate theses and conferences throughout the lineup.

In its report, the National Grand Master remembered the fundamental support of Freemasonry for the development of DeMolay and the constant assistance of CMSB and the Supreme Council of 33rd Degree of Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Federative Republic of Brazil in the work of the Supreme Council. "I would also like to thank the participation of the Grand Masters of the Distrito Federal, Rondonia and Mato Grosso do Sul, which participated at the VI CNOD," said the GMN.

Among the topics discussed, the Supreme Council updated the representatives of Grand Lodges on the status of cases involving trademark DeMolay and the granting of rights in Brazil. Talking about the achievements of last year, the GMN highlighted the entry of three Brazilian representatives in the International Supreme Council, a situation unprecedented in the history of DeMolay in Brazil and worldwide. "The presence of Americans in our National Congress once again showed their trust by DeMolay International in our work. DeMolay Leaders of the world were very pleased with the progress of the Order in the country," said Farias.
