The Knights of Peter Claver was originally founded November 7, 1909 in Mobile Alabama as an organization to allow men of color membership in a Catholic fraternal society. The organization was incorporated July 12, 1911 at Mobile, Alabama.

In 1926, under the leadership of the KPC National Council, the Knights of Peter Claver, Ladies Auxiliary was established. And so, it was over 85 years ago that the National Council recognized local courts to form the Knights of Peter Claver Ladies Auxiliary. A tree was planted that has now grown into a forest of approximately 11,000 Ladies.

Who is the KPC Ladies Auxiliary?

1. We are Ladies who are young and yearning, wise and seasoned, vivacious and vibrant, studious and stunning, bold and bodacious, awesome and awe-inspiring, dedicated and determined.
2. We are strong, proud and independent women willing to be of service to Our Noble Order.
3. We are wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends with a common goal of Faith, Unity, and Christian Charity.
4. We are Ladies with our own unique identities who possess self-confidence, integrity, and the courage to express our opinions.
5. We are Ladies willing to ensure the continuation of Our Noble Order for another 100 years.

To effect change in our communities, we must have the courage to demand the impossible and challenge ourselves. We must promote who we are as an organization. We all play a role in shaping our future.
