Community support

Helping one’s neighbour is a Christian duty for all Knights and Dames of the Order. Individual effort is a spiritual obligation. Each Commandery is expected to help the sick and poor with projects that involve joint action, whether it is donations, effort by members or some combination of both. Below are some of the activities from Priories and Commanderies.

​

Commanderies and Priories choose which charities to support. Most charitable activities are for the benefit of a local area. Some choose a few larger projects while others distribute smaller contributions over a broader spectrum. But everywhere, the joy of seeing others helped is a fundamental reason for membership.
