Welcome

To our Knights and Dames and friends and family all over the world, welcome to the website of the Sovereign Order of St. John, Knights Hospitaller ~ Victoria Commandery situated in beautiful Victoria, B.C., Canada.

The Victoria Commandery has expanded from a small core group of nearly 40 Members with not only impressive academic credentials, but also remarkable accomplishments in industry, and a clear allegiance to the mandate of the Sovereign Order - "Pro Utilitate Hominum" – for service to mankind.

I would hope that 2012 has started off to be a successful beginning, and assume all your aspirations will be fulfilled in a truly positive way.

Our Commandery is rich in powerful, energetic, giving individuals, for which I feel very proud to have been elevated to your Commander. I truly hope that we as a Commandery can operate and accomplish all our desires as a “team”, and at the end of the day we can say “we” did it!

2012 will be an exciting year for the Victoria Commandery, and I hope that you will visit our site frequently for news of our Members and our charitable projects.

Yours Sincerely,

Deedrie

Commander Dame Deedrie Ballard, DCGSJ
