Who are
the Knights of the Southern Cross?:
The Knights of
the Southern Cross (KSC) is a National organisation of Catholic laymen banded
together under a charter approved by the Catholic Bishops of Australia.
Our history and traditions
date back to our origin in 1919 in Sydney when the Knights were founded to
improve the economic well-being and standing of Catholics in the community.
Today our charter is much the same although
our emphasis is now directed towards instilling and maintaining Christian values
throughout Australia.
Branches operate in many Catholic Parishes
