Prior Dennis Chamberland and Prior Howard Giraldo request your presence at A Knight with Team Florida! Our two Priories are excited and honored to co-host our joint Autumnal Convent and Investiture for the Priory of The Temple Church and the newest Priory in GPUSA, the Priory of The Holy Trinity. This historic and solemn C&I, officiated by our Deputy Grand Prior for Region III, Chev. Frederick A. Cassidy, GOTJ, will take place in Cape Canaveral, Florida, October 3-5, 2025.

Festivities include a Friday evening Priors’ Reception and dinner (pay as you go) introducing six Postulants at the “Best Restaurant on the Planet” – Zarrella’s Italian Restaurant, AKA a well-known NASA Astronaut watering hole (in fact, among the many photos festooning the walls is one autographed by Apollo 15 Astronaut Al Worden that declares, “The best restaurant on the planet!”); a Saturday Fellowship Breakfast, waterfront at Grills Seafood Deck Portside (pay as you go); the Convent & Investiture ceremony with Awards and Promotions on site at the Radisson; a Formal Gala and Banquet, including silent and live auctions; an Order of the White Ash gathering; and, concludes with a Sunday Ecumenical Service.

To help your wallet, the C&I Registration Fee is only $105 – a significant decrease from the registration fees for the last four local C&Is! (March 2025 @ $139, April 2024 @ $130, October 2022 @ $120, and October 2019 @ $115)
