2023 INVESTITURE: The 2023 Investiture will be in Fort Wayne, Indiana!
Investiture information will be posted as it becomes available! For all the updated information on the Investiture, go to our Investiture page HERE.
2024 PILGRIMAGE
One of the most important duties for Members of the Order is to make pilgrimages to the Holy Land. In some Lieutenancies, having made such a pilgrimage has been a prerequisite for promotion, and this Lieutenancy has now officially made it a prerequisite for all promotions beyond the rank of Knight or Dame Commander.
The 2024 North Central Lieutenancy pilgrimage is now in the planning. Information and updates will be posted as they become available. For information on how you can be a part of this pilgrimage, go to the Pilgrimage page.
