History

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."

Catholic Knights History

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."
