We are a non-profit organization based in Rome, Italy, but present in nearly every part of the world. For decades, we have been actively involved in volunteer work focused on welcoming and guiding pilgrims to the Holy Places, inspired by the ancient values of Christian chivalry — and especially those of the original Knights Templar.
With over 3,500 active members, more than 250 Commanderies worldwide, and the spiritual guidance of 100 Priests, we serve as a living testimony to a tradition that is not for sale. In our reality, knighthood cannot be bought — it must be earned through voluntary service, personal sacrifice, and the sincere commitment each person chooses to offer.
We are proud to be the only Templar organization officially serving the Vatican during the 2025 Jubilee, just as we did for the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy in 2016 and the Exposition of the Holy Shroud in 2015.
Our mission also includes free global conferences on the values of chivalry, the history of the Templars, sacred symbolism, and the Shroud of Turin — which we display in a full-scale 1:1 replica around the world, wherever invited.
We are not a reconstruction of the past — we are the continuation of a spiritual journey, lived today with the heart of a knight and the hands of a servant, awaiting, in the meantime, a possible formal recognition as a chivalric order, should the Holy Father, in his wisdom and in the Church’s due time, ever choose to grant it.
Awaken the values of the cavalry and the tradition of the poor knights of Christ called the Templars, through common prayers and meditation, defense of the Catholic faith and historical studies.
Preserve the countless abandoned churches, keeping them in dignity and opening them to faithful people at least a few days a month; especially by preventing its use to malicious operators.
Fighting esotericism and rampant magic, especially among youth; making operations against Satanists operating in our dioceses.
