Membership in the Order is open to all Master Masons of the Christian Faith and who have been exalted into a Holy Royal Arch Chapter. A Candidate must be regularly proposed and seconded into a local Preceptory, and once Installed, becomes a Knight of the Masonic Order of the Temple. There is also the degree of Knight of St Paul and the Order of Malta; which is usually conferred at the Provincial Malta meeting in November, by the Provincial Sub-Prior.

If you are interested in joining us and would like some more information, please contact the Provincial Vice-Chancellor.
