A Path of Purpose – The Postulant Journey in the Knights Templar OTJ Australia
Becoming a Knight or Dame of the Order of the Temple is not simply about regalia or ritual — it is a pilgrimage of learning, service, and spiritual transformation.
At Knights Templar OTJ Australia, postulants embark on a deeply enriching journey that blends historical education, spiritual reflection, and charitable action — forming the foundation of modern chivalric knighthood.

The moment of the accolade — when a postulant kneels before the Grand Master to be received into the Order — is a sacred rite steeped in centuries of tradition.
The Recessional: A Symbolic Departure With Sacred Purpose
