SMOTJ is a chivalric and charitable order comprising some 1,500 knights and dames here in the USA. We are a Grand Priory of OSMTH, the international Order, with about 5,000 knights and dames in more than 20 countries. Check out www.smotj.org for more information.
What attracted me to SMOTJ is that we marry the chivalric pomp and circumstance with serious charitable work. Last year, the American Grand Priory donated about $420,000 in direct support (such as scholarships) to Christians at risk in the Holy Land and to the pilgrim sites there.
I am a Knight Commander and serve as Prior of the Priory of St. John the Baptist here in Wisconsin.
Here’s the kilted connection — we find the Wisconsin Highland Games to be a wonderful venue for recruiting. Three of our Past Priors and many members are active in local Scottish organizations.
