The Knights of St. John International is an international Catholic fraternal service organization. Incorporated in 1886,[1] the organization's members commit themselves to service to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, their communities, and fraternal brotherhood, with individual units, or commanderies, established within a parish.[2] The regimented organization pledges fealty to Their King, Jesus Christ, which strengthens and prepares them to complete His earthly mission through acts of charity and fraternity. They pledge our honor and lives to manifest His Word and Truth through our actions and examples as Roman Catholic Gentleman.Acquisition
