The Priory of St. Miltiades is led by Master Commander Louis Steyn of South Africa.
My journey with the Knight Templar tradition began before 2019. I first became involved with a Knight Templar order and began learning about its traditions, values, discipline, brotherhood, and commitment to service.
When the COVID-19 period began, my involvement was temporarily interrupted, and I took time away from the Orders. After the COVID period, I returned to Templar activities and became involved with different Orders, serving in various positions and continuing to develop my experience and understanding of leadership and service.
In August 24, I joined the Ordre Militaire Suprême des Templiers (OMSDT). I began my journey within OMSDT as a CCA, where I committed myself to learning, serving, and developing through the Order's Academy.

Through dedication, study, discipline, and service, I progressed through the ranks of the Order. Each position brought new responsibilities and opportunities to serve my fellow members and contribute to the mission of OMSDT.
In February 2026, I was Knighted, marking an important milestone in my Templar journey.
In March 2026, I was promoted to the position of Master Commander, with responsibility for overseeing the Priory of St. Miltiades.
Today, I remain 100% dedicated to OMSDT and to the responsibilities entrusted to me. I am committed to serving with honour, integrity, faithfulness, discipline, and humility. I will continue working to support our members, strengthen our Priory, and help promote the work and presence of OMSDT.
My goal is not simply to hold a title, but to serve, lead by example, support my brethren, and uphold the values of our Order.
My Commitment
Faith. Honour. Truth. Courage. Loyalty. Service.
I will continue to dedicate my time and efforts to the growth of the Ordre Militaire Suprême des Templiers (OMSDT) and the Priory of St. Miltiades, always seeking to serve the Order and its members to the best of my ability.
History about St. Militiades
Pope Saint Miltiades-(32nd Pope-311-314 A.D.)
Pope Miltiades was also born in Africa. Before he was elected pope, he was a priest in Africa. . During his papacy, Emperors Galarius, Licinius and Constantine put an end to the persecution of Christians; they were permitted to live as such and to reconstruct their places of religious worship. Pope Miltiades was also given back all the ecclesiastical buildings and possessions that had been confiscated during the persecutions. Constantine’s wife later let him stay in the Lateran Palace in Rome, becoming the first pope to have an official residence. He is also known for having been granted permission by Constantine to build the Lateran Basilica, which would become the principle church of Rome and the residency of every pope for over 1,000 years. Miltiades decreed that none of the faithful should fast on Sunday or on the fifth day of the week (Thursday)…because this was the custom of the pagans .Miltiades was pope for 4 years, 7 months and 8 days. He was buried in the Catacomb of St. Callistus on the famous Appian Way. He was the last pope to be buried in a catacomb.
