Knights of the Southern Cross

The Knights of the Southern Cross is an association of Christ’s faithful that is recognised by the Australian Catholic Bishops.  Members are Catholic men who pursue tasks guided by their Catholic Faith and the Cardinal and Chivalrous Virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance." 

A National and International Alliance of Catholic Knights that work in 27 countries throughout the world including the United States of America and Canada, Belgium, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan  South Africa,  and United Kingdom,   . 

We are a non-political organisation, but members can belong to any Party they choose.  The Knights of the Southern Cross is an Order of Catholic laymen founded in 1919; whose aim is to develop Christian fraternity and charity and to manifest in their lives loyalty to God, to Church and to country.

The Knights were founded to improve the economic well-being and standing of Catholics in the community.

The Order of the Knights of the Southern Cross works to help provide an effective voice for the church and for the broader Christian Community in the secular world.  Catholic welfare and caring organisations, schools, and the Church as  a whole, face continuing and increasing pressures to become more secular and to ignore what it is that makes them unique – their Catholic, Christian heritage and beliefs.

Although our members come from a broad range of backgrounds, we all have a common goal.

Vision Statement

We are:

* a welcoming community which reaches out to all
* celebrating Christ's presence
* joyfully living out our Christian calling across distance and diversity
This vision states that as a Diocese, we aim to be a welcoming, missionary, centred on Christ, and each striving to live one's particular vocation.
It is in living out our calling that we praise God, follow Christ, influence society and achieve the goal of eternal life won for us by Christ.
In the parishes we have encouraged people to measure whatever they do against this Diocesan vision.
