Saturday (Night): The Grand Investiture Banquet

Transition from the day's humility to a night of Honor and Gratitude. This formal banquet and awards ceremony will be the "toast" of the evening. Formal Tuxedo or Knights templar white jacket is requested.

Sunday: The Divine Muster

We conclude our gathering in Devotion, returning our thanks to the Great Architect and reaffirming the solemnity of the Order.The Purpose of This Weekend

We have gathered not merely to wear our regalia, but to live out the ancient vows of our Order in a modern world. By feeding the hungry in our community, we honor the true 'Sword of the Temple'—which is Compassion. This event is a reminder that while we carry the history of the Crusades in our names, we carry the light of Service in our hearts. We are, and shall ever remain, Knights of the Temple—dedicated to God, our Brothers, and the relief of the distressed.
