Those objectives include:

Teaching morality without religious distinction, patriotism without partisanship, and brotherhood without creed or class.

Assisting the families of deceased members.

The Royal Arcanum is founded on the principles of good citizenship. It promotes love of country, home and friends; the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man; faithfulness in performance of obligations of the home; honor in your dealings with mankind; generosity with those less fortunate than yourself; sympathy, kindness and consideration for the bereaved and distressed.
