Supporting Our Faith
: As Knights, we are committed to providing unwavering support to our local Catholic church, helping it thrive and continue its vital work.
Fundraising with Purpose

Engaging Public Talks
: Our public talks programme offers opportunities to engage in meaningful discussions about our faith, spirituality, and the challenges facing our world today.
Growing Together

It's not just about giving – it's about personal growth, spiritual development, and forming lifelong bonds with like-minded men. Together, we've discovered a profound sense of purpose and belonging.
We work with all Catholic churches in the Guildford, Woking, West Byfleet, and Godalming areas as well as the Benedictine monastery of St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth.
