The Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George is an ancient and internationally recognized dynastic Order of Knighthood that is actively involved in the defense and promotion of the Roman Catholic religion. It undertakes spiritual, humanitarian, hospitaller and charitable projects and initiatives across the United States and the world.
His Royal Highness Prince Carlo of Bourbon Two Sicilies, Duke of Castro, is the current Grand Master of the Order and Head of the Royal House of Bourbon Two Sicilies. The Grand Master is supported by a Royal Deputation within the Order's Grand Magistry in Rome. The Prior of the American Delegation is His Eminence Theodore, Cardinal McCarrick, GCJCO, Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, D.C.
The Delegate of the American Delegation is Hon. Michael Sullivan, who represented the Order at the investiture. As part of the international network, the Delegation supports and participates in many charitable, humanitarian and inter-faith initiatives across the United States.
As a dynastic Order of Knighthood, the Constantinian Order does not pertain to the Holy See or the Italian Republic. Nevertheless, the Italian Republic, together with many other governments and dynasties, fully recognizes the Order and its activities by Presidential or other decrees. Today knights and dames of the Order can be found across the world, and especially so throughout Italy, the rest of Europe, and North America.
While deeply rooted in the past, the Order is actively engaged in the challenges of modern society and fully prepared for what the future may hold.
