Welcome

Knights Templar is a Christian-oriented fraternal organization whose members are drawn from the ranks of Free & Accepted Masons, also known as Freemasons or Masons.  It is one of three organizations which together form the York Rite of Freemasonry [the other two being Royal Arch Masons and Royal & Select Masons].

The roots of the Knights Templar can be traced back to the 11th century when laymen organized to protect and defend Christians traveling to Jerusalem.  In modern times Knights Templar display their courage and good will through activities such as charitable fund raising, social events, drill competitions, and Christmas and Easter observances.

Holy Grail Commandery traces its roots back to 1919.  It is chartered under the authority of the Grand Commandery KT of Ohio, which was formed in 1843 by several Ohio Commanderies whose Ohio roots go back as far as 1818.

Holy Grail Commandery holds one stated meeting each month, except July and August, and a special meeting on the third Saturday of March.  Most stated meetings are preceded by a pot luck dinner held in conjunction with the ladies of Cleveland Beauceant.

Any man who is a member in good standing of a Masonic Lodge, a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, a Council of Royal & Select Masons, and who professes a belief in the Christian religion, may petition for membership.  For information on membership, please contact the Commandery Recorder.
