Join us in Titusville, Florida, from October 11-13, 2024, for the 2024 Fall Convent and Investiture, hosted by The Priory of The Temple Church and The Commandery of The Holy Trinity.
The C&I begins Friday evening with the Prior’s Reception and Dinner at Sonny’s BBQ. Dinner is “cover-your-own-tab” with a cash bar. We will have the opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet the new Postulants.
On Saturday morning, we will meet at IHOP, walking distance from the hotels, for a Fellowship Breakfast. After breakfast, the Postulants will gather at the St. Stephen Retreat Center for the Postulant Vigil. The Convent & Investiture will follow at St. Stephen Retreat Center. The Saturday evening Banquet and Auction will be held at the Kurt Debus Conference Center at the Kennedy Space Center, and the Order of the White Ash will finish out the day.
An ecumenical service will be held on Sunday morning.
