Hello, St Joan Priory members. The Order is trying to coordinate plans for a Conclave in late October and we are trying to arrive at an approximate number of members who may consider attending.
Unfortunately, the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, NM, with whom we had hoped would allow us to schedule our Conclave, has now restricted days and dates from which we can choose and are now assessing a rental fee that is beyond the Order's financial means.

Unfortunately, the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, NM, with whom we had hoped would allow us to schedule our Conclave, has now restricted days and dates from which we can choose and are now assessing a rental fee that is beyond the Order's financial means.
An alternate location in Colorado is being considered, but to date, no location has been firmly determined but looking at Saturday Oct 5th as the knighting ceremony and will be the main event of the Conclave and the event will likely span from a Friday evening through a Sunday morning, with the Investiture ceremony being held on Saturday. All Order members are welcome to attend, whether or not they are being knighted. Please be aware that all costs related to attending a Conclave will be your responsibility.
No member is required to attend a Conclave. The Order realizes that not every member has the resources to attend such an event. As you can imagine, there are many factors that may preclude a member from attending; unable to get time away from work and/or family, financial or health restrictions, or various other life obligations, regardless of location or date. For members who are eligible for knighthood and cannot attend a Conclave, arrangements will be made for an online Zoom Investiture ceremony, as we've done in the past, in which they will receive their accolade.
I realize that without knowing an exact location may make it impossible for you to say either 'yea' or 'nay', but we're basically trying to arrive at a ballpark number of members who *may* be able to attend or who could make a decision to attend whenever or wherever.
To maintain confidentiality, please do not comment on this post, but reach out to me as soon as possible, either via private message (here or FB), phone call (208-596-0842) or email (dereknordio@protonmail.com), to let me know your thoughts on this. We are trying to determine if there is enough interest to even move forward in securing a location and date.

Little about myself, I live in California and I am 26 years old. Currently between jobs but going to be starting at harbor freight soon and I am a veteran of the U.S. Marines. My interest in the Templars started as I studied history and learned more about the origins of the Knights Templars. I look forward to getting to know you all better and I look forward to being apart of this organization and continuing to build the Kingdom of God. Have a good day everyone, and God bless
