​Blessings and Peace!

Knights Templar Holy Land Pilgrimage UPDATE.
We are significantly encouraged by the availability of several vaccines for Covid-19 and the global distribution that is unfolding.  While the November 2020 Senior Pilgrimage and the 2021 February minister’s pilgrimages were necessarily cancelled, we are moving ahead with confident and complete plans for November 2021 and February 2022.

Please be encouraged to share the information with anyone you think might be interested.  As a former participant in this pilgrimage program, you know the value of this experience.  We are committed to continue to make these opportunities well into the future.

I have attached information on the November 2021 “In the Footsteps of Jesus Pilgrimage” and the 2022 Pilgrimages for Christian Ministers.

Yours in Christ’s service,

Duane A. Kemerley

Greetings Sir Knights,

Hopefully all had a Merry Christmas and are looking to a better year.

The Grand Encampment was shut down the last of October.  The State Conclave was due to open in December but was shut down until further notice because of COVID-19.

Our Commandery did conduct a virtual meeting to include our Christmas Observance on December 9th.  We will continue to conduct virtual meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of the month until we are allowed to meet in person.  I will email invitations the Monday prior.

All Full form Opening reviews have been canceled for this year.  There is an abbreviated Order of the Temple that was to be conducted but, all of January inspections has been cancelled awaiting notice when the inspection season will resume.

This virus has caused many disruptions in all our lives.  Hopefully we can resume to normalcy very soon.  Please stay in touch through social media outlets, emails, text messaging or calling by phone.  We can help each other get past this.

Sincerely,
Tom DeFrieze
