Catholic Family Fraternal of Texas CFFT-KJZT, is a Fraternal Benefit Society founded in 1894 by Czech Catholic Women. Today, almost 125 years after its founding, CFFT-KJZT offers membership to all Texans irrespective of gender or ethnic background. We are a life insurance company but what makes us different is our fraternal affiliation. As a non-profit, we provide life insurance and annuities but earnings from sales to our members are returned to their communities in the form of numerous direct member benefits including support of the Catholic Church and various community service projects.

CFFT-KJZT Society #5 Shiner, under the patronage and protection of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was organized on October 5, 1899 with ten Charter Members.  These progressive and forward thinking women were Teresie Benes, Marie Drabek, Anezka Filipp, Veronika Roznovska, Marie Janecek, Katerina Holik, Julie Chylek, Marie Roznosky, Frantiska Roznosky, and Anezka Veit.
