Welcome to the website of the Association of Papal Orders in Ireland. Founded in the 1990’s, the Association is comprised of members who have been awarded special recognition as Knights and Dames by His Holiness the Pope for exceptional services rendered to the Church and society. For those members of the Church conferred with such a Papal award, it is to be viewed by them not solely as an honour or reward. It also incorporates a duty a duty and a mission – that of servicing and protecting the person of the Vicar of Christ
The website builds upon the explanatory booklet on Pontifical Orders launched in 2012 by the then Papal Nuncio in Ireland, His Excellency the Most Reverend Charles Brown with the encouragement and support of our Patron, His Eminence Seán Cardinal Brady.

Peace Mass, January 1, 2020
In the course of Archbishop Diarmuid Martin's homily in the Church of St Therese on 1 January he said: "Peace must be built up continually. Peace is a construction that has to be carefully monitored and nourished and renewed. The tolerance that led to peace can be undermined quickly. History can be read through the lens of different memories. The hard-earned common memories that led to understanding and respect can be quickly undermined by a malicious and deceptive rereading of the same history."
Present at the Mass were Scretary Gerry Walsh KSG, Joe McDonnell KCSG, Dr Jimmy Sheahan KCSG and President John Morgan KSG.
