Welcome to the Knights of St. Columba, Council 313 Peterborough's website. Please feel free to browse through these website pages to experience the work and activities the Council does within the community of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
The Knights of St Columba are an Order of Catholic Laymen dedicated to the Service of the Church and fellow man. The Organisation, which is non-political and essentially democratic, exists to support the mission of the Catholic Church and at the same time to work for the spiritual and material good of its members and their families.
As a founder member of the International Alliance of Catholic Knights (IACK), we participate in International Projects and have been responsible for the launching of a Video/DVD on the Religious Teachings of Pope John Paul II.
Together with the Knights of St. Columba the member Orders are as follows :-
Knights of Columbus - covering U.S.A., Canada, Phillipines, Puerto Rico, Guatamala.
Knights of St. Columnanus - covering Northern and Southern Ireland.
Knights of Da Gama - covering the Republic of South Africa.
Knights of Marshall - covering Ghana, Toga and Liberia.
Knights of St. Mulumba - covering Nigeria.
Knights of the Southern Cross - covering New Zealand.
Knights of the Southern Cross - covering Australia.
Knights of Peter Calver - covering United States of America.

On the 14th April 1992 in a decree issued from the VATICAN, the International Alliance of Catholic Knights was recognised as a private international association of the faithful according to the codes 298 to 311 and 321 to 329 of the Codes of Cannon Law.
We welcome enquiries from practising Catholic men over 16 years of age, and look forward to your support in our work in the Lay Apostolate, where we endeavour to SERVE GOD BY SERVING OTHERS, in the spirit of Charity, Unity and Fraternity.
