The Knights of San Rocco are a knightly order organized as a Christian fraternity with close ties to the Roman Catholic Church who reflect the widespread devotion to San Rocco, a medieval Franciscan Tertiary whose life and miracles are the subject of many popular celebrations throughout Italy.
Pope Paul III instituted a confraternity of San Rocco, which in 1556 was raised to an archconfraternity by Pope Paul IV, and it is from this original foundation that the present fraternal order descends.
The Ordine Cristiano dei Cavalieri di San Rocco, based in Rome, has entered into a number of mutual agreements of recognition with the Abbey-Principality of San Luigi and its dependent institutions. The Prince-Abbot of San Luigi has been appointed an Honorary Brother for life and Honorary Chief Chaplain to the Order.
The Order has also issued the following instruments of friendship, recognition, twinning, accreditation, and partnership, which have been reciprocated by the Abbey-Principality:
Abbey-Principality of San Luigi
The Order of the Sacred Cup
The Order of the Crown of Thorns
The Order of the Lion and the Black Cross
