We are pleased to share the news that on October 14, 2023, two members of our parish were invested in the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem during ceremonies at the Church of Our Savior, New York City. We congratulate Dame Gilda L. Rorro & Dame Mary C. Rorro on the reception of this high honor.
The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, also called Order of the Holy Sepulchre or Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, is a Catholic order of knighthood under the protection of the Holy See. The pope is the sovereign of the order. The Order is an internationally recognized order of chivalry. Its primary mission is to support the Christian presence in the Holy Land. The Order today is estimated to have some 30,000 knights and dames around the world. The Grand Master is Fernando Cardinal Filoni. The Order’s headquarters is at the Palazzo Della Rovere, Rome.
