It is one of the largest Catholic not-for-profit financial services organizations in the United States, second only to the Knights of Columbus. Fraternal benefits societies are nonprofit membership organizations that designate a portion of their income for charity. The Catholic Knights of America was a fraternal life-insurance company chartered under the laws of the State of Kentucky, U.S.A. The origins of the Catholic Knights of America dated from when James J. McLaughlin (a Catholic and a member of the Knights of Honor) attended an 1877 sermon by the Most Reverend Patrick A. Feehan (the Ordinary of the Nashville Diocese and future first Archbishop of Chicago). Bishop Feehan warned Catholics against joining secular fraternal orders. Moved by the sermon, McLaughlin decided to form a fraternal order that would be an alternative for Catholics. The initial meeting for the new organization was held at Emmett Hall on April 23, 1877. Branch #1 of the new group, the Order of United Catholics, received its charter from the State of Tennessee. The order changed its name to the Catholic Knights of Honor on June 5, and then, at the suggestion of Bishop Feehan, changed to Catholic Knights of America. The Order's patron saint, St. Joseph, Protector of the Christian Home was chosen at the same time. It existed from 1877 to 2005 when it merged with the Catholic Knights Insurance Society to form the Catholic Knights, a financial services company. In the next few years the CKA spread to West Virginia, Indiana and Ohio. The first national convention was held in Louisville, Kentucky, July 9–11, 1878. The organization very nearly came to an end in the late 1880s when an unscrupulous treasurer absconded with the groups funds. Luckily work by other official kept the Knights from going under and much of the money was recovered.
