A new Priory has been established in the United States of America, while retaining important links to The Order of St. George Grand Priory of Canada, as well as to the Grand Priory of the Americas.
Congratulations to Chevalier Steven Mohns KGCStG, Chevalier Gordon Kelly KGCStG and the members of our former Pewaukee Bury for their vision and invaluable efforts in realizing this significant development.
Chevalier Steven Mohns was appointed Prior of The Order of St. George Priory of the United States of America (USA Priory) effective October 26, 2023.
The USA Priory is incorporated in the State of Wisconsin and its Tax Free 501C (3) status has been approved with the Internal Revenue Service. Their Employer Identification Number, also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number, has been registered and is now valid for donations and distributions. As such, the Priory is able to donate to American registered causes and to issue tax receipts to donors.
Going forward, the USA Priory will manage its own membership and charitable causes and importantly, conduct its own Investiture ceremonies for new Postulants. Prior Steven Mohns has indicated that they intend to support veteran and humanitarian causes and programs within the USA, as well as “hands across the border” support for programs that exist in both Canada and the USA. He also advises that while the yearly membership fee is $150 USD, the USA Priory will provide a US tax receipt for $100 USD of the membership fee.
All Knights & Dames resident in the USA are hereby welcomed to transfer their membership to the USA Priory, if they wish. Members of the USA Priory will be invited to donate to similar charitable causes and will receive a USA tax receipt.
Please contact Chevalier Steven Mohns if you wish to be transferred to the new USA Priory. The membership fee is $150 USD, payable by cheque to:
The Order of St George
