Daughters of Isabella

Please include your circle number, name and location when submitting.

The Order of the Daughters of Isabella is "a charitable organization of practicing Catholic women founded on the principle of its motto: Unity, Friendship and Charity." The organization is named after Queen Isabella of Castile, who is perhaps best known in the West for being the royal sponsor of Christopher Columbus.

Knights of Columbus

All Columbian Circles are welcome to submit their site.

The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal family Catholic organization, dedicated to service of others. Membership is open to practicing Catholic men, who are at least 18 years old.

The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by a 29-year-old parish priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut. Today, more than a century later, the Knights of Columbus has become the largest lay organization in the Catholic Church.

Opus Dei

Sites about the founder of Opus Dei more than the organization itself should be submitted to the category for Josemaria Escriva.

Sites critical of Opus Dei should be submitted to the "Opposing Views" category for Opus Dei.

Opus Dei, founded by Josemaria Escriva, is the only personal prelature in the Catholic Church. This unique status makes the organization somewhat like a worldwide diocese. Opus Dei promotes sanctity in the life of lay people, especially in work.

Serra International

This category is only for national, international, or non-location-specific sites related to Serra International. Sites for local clubs should be submitted to the appropriate locality in Regional.

Serra International is a lay organisation within the Roman Catholic Church that seeks to promote vocations to the Priesthood and the Religious Life. The organization exists world-wide with some 23 500 members working through 768 Clubs in 36 countries and all five Continents.
