July/August 2020 Templar Times



Words from the Grand Prior Chev. Jeffrey Peter Agnes, GCTJ, GMTJ Grand Prior XXII, GPUSA Fellow Knights and Dames: While still not able to address you in person, I have again taken the opportunity to prepare this video message to speak to ALL members of our Grand Priory and give you a quick update on the current status of actions and planning at GPUSA. Please be sure to read our jam-packed “Templar Times”, dedicated with heavy hearts and joyous appreciation to our Grand Editeur and Publisher, Analee Evans, a Grand Dame if there ever was one. Please join me in continuing to pray for our brave and desperate Knights and Dames in the Permanent Preceptory of the Holy Land as they fight to thrive in our Lord’s native home. My brothers and sisters, you are Templars – remember who you are. Sempre Avanti (Always Forward) in Christ July/August Templar Times Dedication Chvse. Lisa F. Donant, GOTJ Prior XIII, Priory of St. Thomas á Becket This July/August 2020 issue of the Templar Times is dedicated to Dame Analee V. Evans, GOTJ. Analee has battled cancer for years, and recently made the decision to cease her chemo treatments and has entered hospice care. Since her investiture in 2006, Dame Analee has been a valued member of Priory of St. Thomas á Becket and served as Historian, Photographer and Webmaster. In recent years she expanded her reach and talent by serving as Grand Editeur & Publisher for GPUSA. Dame Analee is an amazing woman and her faith and outlook regarding her future journey is awe inspiring. For those of us that know her well, she has always been the "little engine that could" and will no doubt be re-vamping heaven's newsletter to her satisfaction. Please join me in offering Prayers of Peace to Analee and her family. Cards and letters can be sent to: Dame Analee V.
