A welcome to the Division of Kent
Welcome to the official website of the Division of Kent of The Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine and the Orders of the Holy Sepulchre and of St. John the Evangelist.
Whether you are a member of the Order, a visiting Knight, or a Freemason wishing to learn more about Christian Masonry, we are delighted to welcome you.
The Division of Kent brings together fifteen Conclaves across the county, united by a shared commitment to Christian faith, friendship and service. Within the Red Cross of Constantine, members continue their Masonic journey by exploring the rich spiritual themes that build upon the foundations of Craft Freemasonry and the Holy Royal Arch.
We hope this website offers an insight into the life of our Division, our history, our people and our Conclaves, and that it encourages you to explore more about our Order and the fellowship we enjoy throughout Kent.
The Division of Kent
Local Conclaves, shared purpose and Divisional life
The Division of Kent is home to fifteen active Conclaves of The Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of Constantine, meeting across one of England's most historic and beautiful counties.
From the cathedral city of Canterbury and the Medway towns to the villages, coastline and countryside that make Kent known as the Garden of England, our members come together in friendship, fellowship and Christian faith. Each Conclave has its own unique character while contributing to the shared life of the Division.
Throughout the year, members gather for regular Conclave meetings, Divisional events, church services and charitable activities, creating lasting friendships and strengthening the bonds that unite us as Knight Companions.
Whether you are already a member of the Order, are visiting the Division of Kent, or are considering taking the next step in your Masonic journey, we hope you will discover a warm welcome wherever you visit us.
Life in the Order
Faith, fellowship and service in practice
Membership of the Red Cross of Constantine is about far more than attending meetings. It is about becoming part of a community built on Christian faith, friendship and shared purpose.
Across the Division of Kent, our members come together throughout the year for Conclave meetings, Divisional gatherings, church services, charitable activities and social occasions. These moments strengthen friendships, celebrate our traditions and create lasting memories for members and their families alike.
Whether participating in the rich ceremonial life of the Order, supporting charitable causes, visiting fellow Conclaves, or simply enjoying conversation at the festive board, members find a welcoming environment where fellowship and mutual support flourish.
For many, the friendships formed within the Order become just as important as the ceremonies themselves, creating bonds that extend well beyond the walls of the Conclave.
