INTRODUCTION TO THE ORDER
Since the founding of the Order 900 years ago members have dedicated themselves to personal sanctification, fidelity to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, and support of the Christian Community in the Holy Land.
Knights and Ladies continue this tradition through prayer and pilgrimage, active involvement in their parish and diocese and a commitment of financial resources to support Catholic Institutions in the Holy Land.
Financial contributions by members of the Order are used throughout the Archdiocese of Jerusalem, which includes Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Jordan and Cyprus, to support:
- Parishes, churches and community centers
- convents, seminaries and seminarians
- clinics and hospitals
- parish grade schools, high schools and Bethlehem University
- humanitarian assistance for food and medical supplies
