From 1885 to today, Catholic Knights has continued to grow and expand. It began as a fraternal benefit society that was dedicated "to unite fraternally for social, benevolent and intellectual improvement of all practicing Roman Catholics of every profession, business and occupation between the ages of 16 and 60 years."
In 1885, Karl Benz built the world's first gasoline-powered vehicle that traveled at nine miles per hour, the first modern bicycle was built, and the National Audubon Society was introduced to the United States. During this time, Catholic Knights of Wisconsin was formed. This new fraternal benefit society was dedicated "to unite fraternally for social, benevolent and intellectual improvement of all practicing Roman Catholics of every profession, business and occupation between the ages of 16 and 60 years."
Today, Catholic Knights is a vital Catholic membership organization. It attracts new members who want to be part of an organization that puts Catholic values into action and has significant benefits to offer its members. Catholic Knights is in a prominent position for significant growth as the organization takes on the challenges of the 21st century.
