National Council

The National Council conducts the business of The Order between membership assemblies convened at Triennial meetings. Our national Constitution and Bylaws may only be amended at the Triennial Membership Assemblies. The next assembly is planned for Summer 2027 in Phoenix, Arizona. In the years between Triennial Membership Assemblies, members of the National Council oversee areas of membership, finance, communication, spiritual formation, Triennial planning, and the provinces. The National Council meets at least yearly.
