about slideAbout OSMTH

On behalf of our members in some 40 nations worldwide, we welcome you to the website of the best known international Templar Order in the world, and the only Templar Order recognized in Special Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council.  

1 Templar Legacy

The medieval Knights Templar, best known to us today as the famed warriors of the Crusades, were a devout military religious Order that uniquely combined the roles of knight and monk in a way the Western medieval world had never seen before.

Membership in OSMTH


Membership within the Order is geographically-based; therefore applications of interest to join the Order, received via this OSMTH international website, are referred on to your closest or most pertinent national Grand Priory.

To illustrate, a resident of Australia would not be eligible to join the OSMTH Grand Priory of Canada for the simple reason that they could not attend regular meetings nor play an active role. This policy is to ensure local involvement by individual members and to encourage a sense of community. Exceptions are granted for foreign nationals who are regularly resident in the country of a Grand Priory or of a Mentored Entity.

If you are in a country where OSMTH does not currently maintain an on-the-ground presence, please direct your application to theThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The Deputy Grand Commander administers the OSMTH Mentorship Program, in collaboration with the OSMTH Grand Priories, and will determine the best route to take forward consideration of your application.


INFORMATION ABOUT MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS AND CONTACT POINTS

If you are applying for membership, the nationally based OSMTH Grand Priory will require you to send in a brief formal letter of introduction explaining:

  • who you are;
  • why you wish to join;
  • what qualities you believe you can offer the Order and its good works;

as well as a current resumé/CV.

Applications of interest without these documents may not be considered.

The representative OSMTH Grand Priory in each country reflects the local cultural identity and ways of working. This diversity also applies to the specific membership criteria and application procedures, which are solely the responsibility of each individual Grand Priory. Membership applications are subject to review and evaluation, and not all applications are successful.

The interactive map shows OSMTH Grand Priories (OSMTH National Member Associations), which are noted with the letters GP and coloured red. Countries with Mentored Entities, where OSMTH is developing a local presence, are so noted and coloured green. Please click on a country to see the relevant contact email address.
