Prayerful Solidarity with Australia – Bondi Beach
We join with our Brothers of the Southern Cross, and with all peace-loving Australians, in shock and sorrow at the tragic events at Bondi Beach.
As we celebrate the Third Sunday of Advent, a season of hope and expectation so close to Christmas, our hearts are heavy for the lives lost and for all those affected by this senseless tragedy.
Easter Message 2023, President Charlie McCluskey KSG
The late Cardinal Basil Hume said, “The great gift of Easter is hope”. I was reminded of this on the Tuesday of Holy Week by my good friend Father Philip Baptiste who is a Chaplain to the Knights of St Columba in London. The words of His Eminence really sum up for me the Easter message.

Easter Message from the International President 2021, Charlie McCluskey KSG

Fr Michael McGivney Beatification

Past Supreme Knight Alan Diesel RIP
I am deeply saddened to inform you of the passing to his eternal reward of Brother Alan Diesel.
Brother Alan was a Past Supreme Knight of the Knights of Da Gama (South Africa) and was also a founding member of the International Alliance in 1979.
Easter Message from the International President, Charlie McCluskey KSG
I am sure that since the founding of the Alliance in 1979 no President has sat down to write his Easter message in the circumstances, we find ourselves in at present.
In my own country of Scotland, we are in total lockdown with no one able to leave the house except for essential reasons and even our churches are closed to the public.
Past Supreme Knight Virgil Dechant R.I.P
I never had the opportunity to meet Brother Virgil Dechant but a number of my predecessor Supreme Knights in the UK did.
Those who did know and meet him said was that he treated them and the SKs throughout the world as equal as Supreme Knights, irrespective of the individual country or jurisdiction.
