The Middle Atlantic Lieutenancy of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem

Joining the Order

Membership begins with a nomination by an existing member, submitted through the Section Representative. From there, a thorough review process ensures each candidate is aligned with the spiritual and moral principles of the Order:

  • Nomination reviewed by Section Representative, candidate’s pastor, and bishop

  • Letter of invitation extended by the Lieutenant

  • Dossier prepared and reviewed by the Lieutenant and Grand Prior

  • Final approval granted by the Grand Magisterium in Rome

  • Diploma issued and signed by the Grand Master and Secretary of State

All nominations remain strictly confidential until episcopal approval is obtained and an invitation is officially extended.
