For the Faith and in the Service of Humanity...

Welcome to the Priory in the United States of America of The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. We are one of eight Priories of a historic, chivalric and charitable Order dating back to the Crusades. The Order is steeped in colorful ritual and tradition – and yet is very modern in its desire to help the next generation in the Holy Land.

Our Members, who vow to prevent and treat sickness and suffering, have raised millions of dollars for the St. John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital. The Hospital, which every year treats over 90,000 patients, is located in Jerusalem, where our Order began. Through their support of the Hospital and its outreach programs, our Members link the past to the present. You do not have to be a Member of the Order to help us achieve our centuries-old goals – you have only to act on the principles on which we were founded.
