Welcome to the website of the Holy Celtic Order of the Temple. The tradition of this Order is Liberal Catholic and offers a Liberal Catholic path to esoteric knowledge and mystical experience.
The order comprises four grades. The first grade (KSJA / DSMM) is open to all baptised Christians and is focussed on the Avalonian Mysteries. The second grade (KSJB/DSJB) focusses on the Pyrenean Mysteries and is open to clerics in minor or major orders and deaconesses as well as select lay members of the first grade. The third and fourth grades, Celtic Knight/Dame of the Temple and Knight Templar Priest are reserved for particularly committed lay people and clergy in major orders, respectively. Each grade has a distinctive mantle.
Our specifically Celtic traditions are most usually celebrated among the members of our affiliated Druid Order, Trinity Grove. Members in the higher grades may also be offered membership of the Mar Thoma Liberal Catholic Church and the Liberal Catholic Martinist Order. We also work two Masonic Rites; the Rectified Scottish Rite (Templarist Freemasonry) and the Ancient & Primitive Rite of Memphis+Misraim (Egyptian Freemasonry), with lodges in Spain, Serbia and Cuba. Some members are also members of the Franco Haitian Ordo Templi Orientis.
We are committed to the spiritual growth of each member and to a Templarism that is true to the original Templar task of the defence of Christendom, through awareness raising, prayer and our own Templar witness.

A Knights Morning Prayer
O Lord Christ, we Thy faithful soldiers dedicate this newborn day to Thee, praying that it may shine in Thy service as a pure pearl in the chaplet of our life, O Thou great King of Love, to whom be praise and adoration for evermore. Amen.
