Can ministers apply to participate in this pilgrimage?

We do not accept applications for the Knights Templar Holy Land Pilgrimage.  Local Commanderies of Knights Templar (affiliated with the Masonic Fraternity) select Christian ministers from their area to Nominate for the program.  These Nominations may be processed locally and then submitted to the state committee on the Holy Land Pilgrimage.

What you may do is to express your interest in the program to members of the Masonic fraternity in your congregation or area and have them help you make contact with the nearest Commandery of Knights Templar. You can share with them your willingness to be nominated for the program.  The decision whether or not to proceed with the nomination process is in the hands of the local Commandery of Knights Templar.
