WHO ARE WE
A Catholic Men’s Service Organisation originally established in 1919 to help fellow Catholics obtain work and to support each other’s families to live their Catholic Faith. The organisation is known as The Order of the Knights of the Southern Cross Australia and is a member of the International Alliance of Catholic Knights,
whose members are recognised by the Vatican.
