THE AMERICAN DELEGATION
The American Delegation of the Dynastic Orders of the Royal House of Bourbon of the Two Sicilies represents the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George throughout North America. Incorporated in 1989, the Delegation brings together Knights and Dames throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico who participate in charitable, spiritual, cultural, educational, and social initiatives. The Constantinian Order is a Catholic chivalric institution centered upon the glorification of the Holy Cross, defense of the Catholic Church, propagation of the Faith, and charitable works. The Order forms part of the dynastic traditions of the Royal House of Bourbon of the Two Sicilies and maintains an international presence through more than 30 delegations.
A MESSAGE FROM THE DELEGATION PRIOR
As Prior of the American Delegation of the Dynastic Orders of the Royal House of Bourbon, I am pleased to welcome you to its website.
For centuries, the Constantinian Order has provided a means of sanctification for Catholic leadership, as its knights and dames nobly dedicate themselves, especially to the glorification of the Holy Cross, in the charitable service of others.
Their ancient commitment to charity continues today in the members’ support of Catholic education, and assistance to the poor and the sick, in a variety of initiatives also shared by the Royal Order of Francis I.
I invite you to learn more about these Orders, particularly the American Delegation, and to prayerfully support its various initiatives.

Archbishop of San Francisco
