Welcome to our organization
The Knights Hospitallers of Saint Stephen is one of the world's oldest orders of chivalry, established as early as 1147. The Order is active even today, and its worldwide charitable activities still carry out the tradition of its founding charter - to care for the sick and the poor, regardless of race, religion, or language.
To all present Knights and Dames of the Knights of Saint Stephen, the wearing of the Order's insignia is not a privilege, but rather an obligation to serve humanity according to our motto: Qouqooversus Sol Splendet (Sun Shines to Everywhere). We do believe that all people should be ennobled to create a better world.Applicants for a membership must be active in works of charity. They must be dedicated and ready to help those in need, and are to attend meetings, ceremonies, and functions as organized by the Order.
The minimum age for Applicants of Knighthood is 21. Applicants who are 17-20 years old will be classified as Serving Brothers or Sisters, and may be elevated to a higher rank at the appropriate age, depending on how well they serve.
