Our History

Star of Faith Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, Jurisdiction of Texas, was adopted under Mount Sinai Grand Lodge. A.F. & A.M., Jurisdiction of Texas in 1986, after the elder members decided to separate after many years of fellowship.  The original name of the Grand Chapter was White Rose Grand Chapter.  Our leaders decided after many years of unwavering faith to continue on the journey of following his Star in the East, and named the new Grand Chapter, Star of Faith, Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star.   After the death of Sister Mary L. Thomas, Grand Matron, Emeritus who led the Grand chapter for many years, we have been Star of Faith to date.
