As a not-for-profit fraternal benefit organization governed by our members, our branch system plays a pivotal role in fulfilling our Society mission. The branch system gives each member a voice in the governing of the business and the opportunity to improve their communities.
Catholic Knights branch system conducts more than 1,200 volunteer activities each year. Branch dues are used to fund branch social and charitable projects. Local branches elect branch leaders who help local members receive the full benefit of their membership by organizing and encouraging participation in branch activities.
Today, Catholic Knights has 148 branches located in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin. These branches provide volunteer opportunities that put to use the time, talents, interests and schedules of members of all ages.
Simply put, branch members have fun while socializing and volunteering. Join us!
