Knights of St. John: Founded in 1886, this is the largest and most prominent semi-military Catholic organization in the U.S., and the fastest growing such organization in Africa and Latin America. Working closely with pastors in service to our parishes and schools, this fraternity engages in many religious, civic, social, and charitable functions. Their activities raise money for charitable needs and for the building of mission chapels in under-served areas across the U.S. The Knights aid their brothers in times of sickness, death, and other tragedies. There is an annual retreat, special Masses, and the uniformed Knights serve as escorts to the Cardinal, particularly during Papal visits. They meet on the 2^nd Thursday of the month at 7:30 PM in the Parish hall. Membership is open to any Catholic man interested in promoting devotion to the Church and to her works. Call Capt. Ellsworth Holley, Sr. at (301-336-4394) or Lt. John Marshall at (301-627-4392).

Knights of St. John Ladies Auxiliary: The goals of the Auxiliary are to promote Christian love and sociality among its members and their families, to alleviate suffering in times of sickness or other misfortune, and to inspire and elevate the spiritual, moral, mental, and social conditions of others. The Auxiliary meets on the 3^rd Sunday of each month at 1:30 PM in the Parish Hall. Any practicing Catholic woman, 16 years of age or older, can join. Call Mary Murphy, President, at (301-372-8576) or Cleo Curtis, at (301-627-2718).
