The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem is an ancient order of Christian chivalry dedicated to:

• Strengthening members' faith through charity and loyalty to the Pope.
• Supporting the Church's work in the Holy Land, particularly through the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
• Preserving and promoting the Christian faith in the Holy Land.
• Raising awareness of our mission.
• Upholding the rights of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land.

We are the only lay organization within the Catholic Church entrusted with supporting the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and sustaining the Christian presence in the Holy Land. Our members' contributions are vital for funding Patriarchal institutions in Jerusalem and the Holy Land.
