EVERY CHRISTIAN MASON SHOULD BE A KNIGHT TEMPLAR!

The Knights Templar is a Christian fraternal organization based on the ancient organization that was founded in the 11th century. Today, the Knights Templar display their courage and goodwill in different ways than the ancient Templars by raising millions of dollars annually for charitable purposes, especially for the Knights Templar Eye Foundation.

General Membership Requirements:

To petition for membership in a Commandery of Knights Templar, you must be a member in good standing in a Masonic Lodge and a Royal Arch Chapter and you must profess in a belief in the Christian Religion. In addition, two members from the Commandery must recommend you. If you do not have two members from Kensington-Kadosh Commandery to recommend you, then a Committee of Investigation will be sent to meet with you at your home.

If you are not a Master Mason, contact The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania at http://www.bapamason.com/.
