Welcome to The Order of St. George, Grand Priory of Canad.
The Order of St. George is a Chivalric Order whose Mission is “to better the health and well-being of members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans and their families, and supports the Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers Programs.”
The International Knightly Order of St. George Foundation, Registered Charity No. 83351 2049 RR0001, is the charitable arm of The Order and exists for the same purpose. To learn more about the Foundation, please click here.
The Grand Priory of Canada and the Americas of the Order of St. George was first established in 2003 in Niagara Falls, Ontario and continues a tradition that dates back to the 14th century. King Károly Róbert of Hungary (1288-1342), also known as Charles Robert, Duke of Anjou, founded the Fraternal Society of Knighthood of St George as the first monarchical, chivalric and secular order of its kind. While the exact date is lost to history, there is evidence that the Society was in existence in 1326 on St. George’s Day, now celebrated annually on April 23rd. Indeed, the story of St. George as a legend of Christian martyrdom informs the chivalric ideals that underpin our Order. Today our members are drawn from all walks of life and reflect the great diversity of our society. What joins us is our common cause of helping people in need.
