BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priests is an honorary and invitational organization with membership limitations and cannot be applied for. Members are selected and extended invitations on the basis of outstanding performance as a Commander of a Commandery of Knights Templar. The order has historic roots in England that trace back to
1786, with references back to 1686, the traditional year of revival. The "Priestly Order" was referred to within the
ceremonies of "The High Knights Templar" in Ireland in 1755. There are records of the conferral of this Order in the United States during the 1800's but the authority is unknown.
The Grand College of America, Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priests was formed in the United States in 1931. The limit of Regular Members in a Tabernacle is 33. The number of Tabernacles in a state is dependent on the number of active Commanderies in each state. Ohio has four Tabernacles one of which representing the southern and southwestern area of the state is Temple Tabernacle LXII located in the Cincinnati Ohio area.
Temple Tabernacle LXII meets on the first Saturday in August of each year. |
