Celebrating our Past, Embracing our Future

OUR HISTORY

The Knights of Lithuania was founded in 1913 in Massachusetts with a mission to unite Lithuanian-American youth and preserve their language, culture, and traditions in the United States. Today, our organization has expanded to members of the whole family! 

We remain dedicated in honoring and celebrating Lithuanian customs, upholding our Catholic tradition, staying aligned with foreign policy of Lithuania, and support Lithuanians through our charities.

BECOME A MEMBER

Joining the Knights of Lithuania connects members with their Lithuanian heritage, supportive community and in-person events. We offer opportunities for cultural preservation, leadership development, and charitable service. Most importantly, members build lifelong friendships while promoting Lithuanian traditions and values.
