Charter members include the Knights of Columbus, the Knights of St. Columbanus (Ireland), the Knights of the Southern Cross (Australia), the Knights of St. Columba (UK), the Knights of Da Gama (Africa) and the Knights of the Southern Cross (New Zealand).

The alliance meets biennially to discuss Catholic fraternalism.

I.A.C.K. Mission Statement - We believe that the privilege of Knighthood confers upon a Catholic man an extra responsibility in the Apostolate of Christ's Church. We record our determination as individual Orders within the International Alliance to co­operate in achieving the following aims:

• To bring the message of Christ to all people.
• To give loyalty and support in every way possible to our Holy Father The Pope and all Bishops, Priests and Religious throughout the world.
• To use our individual and joint influence to eliminate injustice from society.
• To co-operate with other Catholic international organizations and the Pontifical Council for the Laity to advance the Christian way of life.
• To extend the vision of Rev Father Michael McGivney by assisting each Member Order to progress and grow and by promoting the establishment of new Orders of Catholic Knights.
• To strengthen out individual and distinct Member Orders by corporate action and to strive to deepen the faith of members of the Alliance and all Catholics in general by encouraging their active and generous participation in the Life and Mission of the Church.
• To pursue these aims by uniting all our brothers throughout the world in prayer.
