International Alliance of Catholic Knights 

The presence of six Supreme Knights; from fraternal Orders throughout the world; at the Knights of St Columba Diamond Jubilee Supreme Council in 1979, presented the opportunity to sow seeds of greater co-operation between the various Orders. Following the Supreme Council meeting of the Knights of Da Gama, South Africa in 1980; where a constitution was drafted for endorsement by each of the fraternal Orders; the International Alliance of Catholic Knights was formed.

The Alliance now incorporates the following Orders of Catholic men, working in twenty-seven countries throughout the world:

The Supreme Knights of each of the Orders within the Alliance meet bi-annually, at a different venue, to discuss ways and means of aspiring to the ideals of the International Alliance of Catholic Knights.
