The context is Roman Catholicism - I think it may stand for Knight of St George, but I don't know what that means, either!

If the context is RC then it will be a Knight of St Gregory. This is a Papal Knighthood.

It stands for Knight of St Gregory.

The Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great was established on September 1, 1831 by Pope Gregory XVI, seven months after his election. The Order has four classes in civil and military divisions:

Knight Grand Cross of the First Class
Knight Grand Cross of the Second Class
Commander
Knight

Of the five pontifical orders of knighthood in the Catholic Church, it is the highest honor that a layman or woman (Dame) can attain.

The order is bestowed on Catholic men and women(and in rare cases, non-Catholic men in recognition of their service to the Church, unusual labors, support of the Holy See, and the good example set in their communities and country.

The Order's motto is Pro Deo et Principe.
