On behalf of the officers and members of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, United States of America & Its Jurisdictions, Prince Hall Affiliation, Incorporated, I extend a warm welcome to our official website.
Whether you are a Sir Knight, a member of the Prince Hall Masonic Family, or a visitor seeking to learn more about our Order, we are honored by your visit. We trust this website will serve as a valuable resource for history, leadership, programs, charitable initiatives, and the enduring legacy of Templarism throughout our jurisdictions.
Organized in 1926, the Grand Encampment serves as the chivalric branch of the York Rite of Prince Hall Freemasonry. Guided by the principles of Christian Knighthood, we remain steadfast in our commitment to faith, charity, service, and leadership, striving to make a positive difference in the communities we serve.
We invite you to learn more about the Crown & Cross Charity & Scholarship Foundation, Incorporated, the charitable arm of the Grand Encampment. Through scholarships, educational opportunities, community outreach, and benevolent programs, the Foundation reflects our commitment to strengthening communities, investing in future generations, and improving lives.
We also encourage support for the Chauncey O’Hara Daughterty Student Aid Program, which provides financial assistance to deserving students pursuing higher education. By investing in education today, we help prepare the leaders of tomorrow.
Additionally, we encourage you to visit the International Grand Court of Cyrene Crusaders’ website, the official auxiliary of the Grand Encampment, to learn more about its mission, programs, and contributions to Christian Knighthood and charitable service.
As our website continues to grow, it will serve as the central source for Grand Encampment news, announcements, publications, resources, and upcoming events. Visit often, stay informed, and remain engaged with the Grand Encampment’s work and its charitable and educational initiatives.
Thank you for your interest in our Order and for your continued support of our mission. We pray that God will richly bless you and your family, and we look forward to your continued fellowship and support.
Fraternally,
Fredrick “Fred” Joyner
