Annual Investiture Ceremony and Lunch Banquet
4th July 2026 - Saturday
The NSW and Queensland Priories come together each year to celebrate a Joint Annual Investiture Ceremony, a solemn and dignified occasion marking the admission, promotion, and recognition of Knights and Dames within the Order of St John.
Held in a formal ecclesiastical setting and conducted according to the ancient traditions of the Order, the ceremony includes blessings, readings, and the formal dubbing and investiture of new members. Senior office-bearers of both Priories, accompanied by clergy, colour parties, and distinguished guests, participate in the proceedings.
The Joint Investiture reflects the unity, shared mission, and mutual support between the NSW and Queensland Priories, reinforcing the Order’s commitment to faith, service, and charitable works throughout Australia.
Fundraising Lunch / Catch Up
23rd May 2026 - Saturday
Siege of Malta Commemorative Lunch Function
19th September 2026 - Saturday
The Siege of Malta Commemorative Lunch is a formal gathering held in honour of the courage, faith and steadfast resolve demonstrated by the Knights of St John during the Great Siege of 1565.
In that defining chapter of our history, the forces of the Order of Saint John, under the leadership of Grand Master Jean de Valette, defended the island of Malta against overwhelming opposition. Their sacrifice and determination not only secured the island but strengthened the Christian presence in the Mediterranean and shaped the future of the Order.
This commemorative luncheon provides Members, family and invited guests with an opportunity to reflect upon this historic event, to renew our commitment to the ideals of Christian charity and chivalric service, and to enjoy fellowship in a spirit befitting the traditions of the Order.
The function is conducted with appropriate dignity and ceremonial observance, including a brief historical address and a toast in remembrance of those who served with honour. It stands as a reminder that the values demonstrated in 1565 — courage, unity and service — continue to guide our work today.
