Supreme Convention
Biennial worldwide gathering of the Knights of St. John International
The Supreme Convention is the highest forum of the worldwide Order — where delegates from Grands across the globe review policy, celebrate Catholic knighthood, and renew the fraternity's mission.
Convention outcomes shape ritual standards, governance policy, and the global calendar of activities that guide every Grand Commandery and Ladies Auxiliary.
Delegates brief commanderies upon return, sharing resolutions, ritual updates, and strategic direction that influence the Accra West Grand year ahead.
Preparation includes sub-convention sessions, credential verification, and policy briefing — ensuring Accra West speaks with one voice at the supreme forum.
The Supreme Convention is both a duty and an honour — a reminder that Accra West is part of a worldwide brotherhood of Catholic knights and ladies.
