The Knights of the Holy Rosary is an organization of men and women, as well as boys and girls, who seek the salvation and greater sanctification of their souls, and that of others, by following the requests of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal in 1917, with a special emphasis on a visible public witness to the Catholic Faith and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Holy Rosary through the wearing of Knights clothing and patches. Women and girls are encouraged to join as Knights or Dame
The term "Knights" is employed to emphasize the reality of Spiritual Warfare in which we are engaged: against the spirit of the world which opposes God, against the disordered appetites of the flesh, and against the devil. Our weapon of choice is the Rosary, which Our Lady of Fatima repeatedly asked that we pray every day.
The Knights' motto is "Oratio, Poenitentia, Castitas," which is Latin for "Prayer, Penance, Purity."
