Welcome to Rosicrucian Park and to the city of San Jose,
which are very close to our hearts.
All of you know the history of this place and by your attending this
World Convention, it shows how much you care about it. Some
among you have already come here several times, while others are
seeing it for the first time.
Whatever the bonds or memories that link you to Rosicrucian Park,
however long you have been a member of our Order, whatever
country you are coming from,
I wish you a good stay and an inspiring Convention.

Born in France on November 30, 1951, under

has been the Imperator of AMORC and the Sov
ereign Grand Master of the Traditional Martinist
Order since April 12, 1990. Four times unanimous
ly reelected to this office by the Supreme Grand
Lodge of AMORC, he is dedicated to the world
unity of our Order and works in collaboration with
all the Grand Masters.
A Rosicrucian since the age of fifteen, he be
gan his work with the Grand Lodge in 1970 in the office of Grand Sec
retary. He served as Grand Master of the French speaking jurisdiction
from 1977 to 1993. Since 1972, his wife Helene has traveled by his side
on the Rosicrucian path and assists him in his work. He is the father of
three children, all Rosicrucians, and grandfather to several little ones.
After Rosicrucianism, his second personal passion is soccer. In ad
dition to the affection he feels for all his Fraters and Sorores and for his
family, like most Rosicrucians, he is concerned with ecology and the
future of our planet.
Frater Bernard was much esteemed by our late Imperator Ralph
Maxwell Lewis, who placed great confidence in him from his earliest
years. He has made every effort to show himself worthy of this, and, so
long as circumstances permit, he will continue to serve our Order as he
has for over forty years.

Frater Maximilian Neff was bom in 1949 in Ba
varia, Germany. He joined the Order in 1976 and
began working at the Grand Lodge for the Ger
man Language Jurisdiction, which had its head
quarters in Baden-Baden, Germany.In 1999, Imperator Christian Bernard installed
Frater Neff as Grand Master for the German Lan
guage Jurisdiction.
Frater Neff’s aim has always been to preserve
and to strengthen the Mystic Ideals of our Order and to make them
easy to understand and put into practice. He is thoroughly convinced
that the teachings and the high standard of our Order can be kept
alive when it is passed on in a way that can be lived in our daily lives.
He believes this lays the foundation for the future of the Order. Of equal
importance, Frater Neff feels the responsibility to maintain the rich and
unique Rosicrucian mystic-symbolic tradition, originating in the past
and making it valid for all times.
To those seekers of the greater Light, Frater Neff explains, “We must
learn again the Mystical language, which is the language of our Inner
Self on the Cosmic level. We can only find it beyond the intellectual and
psychological language. The secrets of our world, of our own personal
ity, and of our fife, cannot be revealed by our rational understanding
alone. We need the mystical language which has been mostly lost;
however, we have the keys to rediscover it, as they become activatedas we follow our cryptic teachings and our soul personality.”

I am pleased to join in celebrating your 100th anniversary.
In America, history is not only made by presidents and generals.
Change often comes when caring and engaged individuals join together to build a brighter, stronger future for themselves and for the
generations to come.
For years, you have carried forward a proud tradition. By daring to
imagine the world as it could be and working tirelessly to realize that
vision, you are helping America reach a better tomorrow.
Congratulations on your anniversary. As you reflect on your years o f
service to your community, I hope you take pride in what you have
achieved. I wish you all the best fo r the years ahead.
