Knights of Peter Claver & Ladies Auxiliary
Four Josephite priests and three African American laymen founded the Knights of Peter Claver on Sunday, November 7, 1909, less than 50 years after the end of legalized slavery. The Noble Order provided spiritual direction and fellowship at a time when the Black community was fighting for human and civil rights, true economic freedom and opportunity, and better educational opportunities.
Soon after the Order’s founding, the Knights became a family organization – establishing the Junior Knights (1917), Ladies Auxiliary (1922), and Junior Daughters (1930).
The Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary is now the country’s largest and oldest historically Black Catholic lay organization – comprised of many doctors, judges, teachers, clergy, mechanics, engineers, and other laborers and professionals.
We continue the work of our patron saint, Fr. Peter Claver, by engaging in church and community service projects; supporting local, regional, and national charitable appeals; and caring for one another.
Join our Claver family so that we can continue making history in the Church and throughout the United States! Contact Grand Lady Joi L. Hunter for more information.

Forged by Fire
It is a group of people, born, shaped, and sustained by the fire that is our Catholic faith.

All are welcome to attend. We meet weekly on Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
