What are the Knights of the Holy Temple?“Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.’ [And] he was speaking about the temple of his body.” (John 2:19)
The Knights of the Holy Temple assist particular young men of high school age to experience Godly masculine adventure, battle and beauty, with a foundation firmly grounded on fraternity, formation, and parish service.
The formation of the Knight will include:- A deep reverence and devotion to Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament
- Service to the poor and less fortunate
- A profound commitment to protecting and fostering the Culture of Life
- An environment for leadership development, Christian fellowship, and prayer support
- Vocational discernment for the priesthood, consecrated life, or married life
- Encouragement to properly live the faith both privately and publicly

The Knights' Honor CodeIn all things, we are aware of God: our place in his plan, our need of his grace, and always conscious of all we have received from him. A good man willingly submits to God's wisdom, not his own.
In order to sustain our ability to fight the spiritual battle, we frequent the Sacrament of Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Reconciliation as often as possible. These sacraments are to be seen as the source of our strength.
As we are defenders of God's Holy Church, we accept our responsibility of learning the Truth She teaches and are not afraid, reluctant, or even hesitant to defend Her honor.We never underestimate the power of our witness as men to the truth of Jesus Christ and his Church. Hence, we conduct ourselves as Catholic gentlemen at all times by purity of action, decency in speech, modesty in dress, respect toward others, and a spirit of good nature.
