Confraternity of the Knights of St. Peter & St. Paul
The Confraternity of the Knights of St. Peter & St. Paul Incorporated was created by H.E. Chev. Peter Paul Portelli O.S.J. in Melbourne in November, 1996 to honour members of the Christian faith for their tireless benevolent work in the community.
The original name was ‘Order of St. Peter & St. Paul’. In 2009 the name had to be changed to ‘Confraternity of the Knights of St. Peter & St. Paul Inc. to comply with the wishes of the Catholic Church.
