Known as the Bractwo Kurkowe, it’s original responsibility was to defend Polish cities against invaders.

It’s motto, “God, Honor, and Fatherland,” reflect the obligation of its members to defend, not only the nation and its traditions but also the Catholic Church and Her pastors.
Within the Brotherhood of the Rooster there are 5 Knightly Orders, one of them, the Knightly Order of St. John Cantius.
