The Federal Auxiliary

The Federal Auxiliary is a group of young Catholics ages 21-40 who share in the ideals and mission of the Order of Malta—and participate in the Hospitaller works of the Association. The group was formed in 1992 and originally consisted almost exclusively of the sons and daughters of Knights and Dames of the Federal Association. Since that time, the group has grown to include the friends, co-workers, and other associates of the members of the Order.

There are many active groups springing up in the membership regions—an outgrowth of the spirit of the Order given witness by the Knights and Dames themselves in their families, parishes, and communities. Many Auxiliary members have become active participants and volunteers in projects to the degree that these now are supported by Knights and Dames and are considered to be among the Association’s signature projects—such as St. Ann’s Infant and Maternity Home in Washington, DC or the Solidarity School in Atlanta, GA.
