The International Knightly Order Valiant of St. George  The Order of St George was founded by King Károly Róbert of Hungary in 1326 as a royal and military order of chivalry. It has since become an international and ecumenical fraternity, drawing its membership from various Christian denominations in Europe and North America. Knights and Dames of St George uphold the virtues of chivalry and through their charitable trust provide a service to humanity by financially supporting hospices, orphanages, homes for the elderly and other worthy institutions in the UK and Eastern Europe. Membership is by invitation of either the Grand Master or one of Deputy Grand Masters. Our Order has active Grand Priories in Hungary (where it plays an important State ceremonial role and the nurturing of civic pride, as well as charitable and welfare work), Poland, The United Kingdom, Holland and other European countries. Our Spiritual Protector is the Bishop of Rochester, the Rt. Rev Dr. Michael Nasir-Ali. Our British Knights and Dames include Peers of the Realm, senior clergymen of all the main Churches and prominent members of the business community with a commitment to philanthropic work and Christian witness. In November 2006, a new United Kingdom Grand Priory was established, with the aim of providing an enhanced programme of charitable and social events. We hope you will find our website interesting and informative and a source of information about our forthcoming events. Objectives of the Order
The aims of The Order are to assist the needy, both mentally and materially, and to uphold the Chivalric Code of Prowess, Justice, Loyalty, Defense, Courage, Faith and Humility. Members must continue the traditions instituted by the early Royal Military Order of St. George. They must provide a charitable service to humanity, support the underprivileged, hospitals, hospices, orphanages, homes for the elderly and other worthy institutions. They must reward the services rendered to humanity in all fields of human achievement.
Obligations of the OrderMembers of the International Knightly Order Valiant of St George have always made a difference in their world, and pursue traditions of excellence by compassion and supporting various works of charity. Membership is based on equality regardless of Race, Creed or Gender. Membership is open to men and women, men as KStG, and ladies as DStG. An invitation to membership will have little to do with a person’s material success; rather it will be an acknowledgement of a person’s character and integrity. |
