Knights of Rizal - Hawaii Chapter

KOR Chapters

The first Knights of Rizal Manual was published on December 30, 1985, during the incumbency of Sir Justo P. Torres Jr. KGCR as Supreme Commander. The manual was an answer to the felt need to systematize and rationalize the rules and policies of the organization to put an order in its objectives and operations.

Since then, the Order of the Knights of Rizal achieved unprecedented organizational growth and expansion, particularly at the start of the 90s. By December 31, 1993, it had grown to 180 chapters throughout the Philippines, and 48 Chapters in foreign countries, and this growth accelerated to more than 300 vibrant chapters with over 36,000 members worldwide.

Activities of Chapters

The chapter activities must align and connect with the essential objectives of the Order following the values that Rizal exemplified. The life and writings of the hero are creative sources of ideas that can inspire the members to create and promote activities that can strengthen and deepen the love of the country and of our fellowmen and encourage meaningful exposure to nature, science, the humanities, and other fields of learning.

Chapters are listed in A-Z alphabetical order, with links to either the KOR Chapter's -website, KOR-social media pages such as FB, Forums, etc.
