Our Mission

At St Mary’s Cathedral, our Knights are closely connected to the life of the parish and its people. Through practical service, such as assisting with the Parish BBQ, handing out Lifelink envelopes, and supporting Shopfront in feeding those who are disadvantaged, we seek to make a meaningful contribution to the Cathedral community. In these ways, we serve the Church in practical and visible ways while strengthening our bonds as Catholic men.

As Knights, we seek men of faith, character and conviction who are willing to commit themselves to Catholic fraternity, service and leadership. Through seminars, guest speakers and initiatives such as the Catholic Gentlemen’s Club, we bring men together for thoughtful discussion in a distinctly Catholic setting. These gatherings deepen faith, strengthen fraternity and help us identify men suited not only to membership of the Order, but also, over time, to leadership and governance roles across businesses connected to the Knights.

The Knights of the Southern Cross (WA) have a long tradition of service beyond the Church walls and into the wider community. This includes supporting young people through scholarships for the Knights Leadership Academy, working alongside Vinnies in assisting migrants and refugees as they settle into life in Western Australia, and volunteering with Southern Cross Care in supporting older members of our community. These are just some of the ways we seek to live our faith outwardly, and we remain open to other opportunities to serve with compassion, dignity and purpose.
