The Fourth Degree

REACH For YOUR HIGHEST POTENTIAL      

The Fourth Degree is a group of outstanding Knights, dedicated to
promoting patriotism as enlightened by their Catholic Faith.
These Knights, distinguished by exemplary deeds for God, for
country, and the Order, are united by the Fourth Degree to
support religious, civic, and charitable causes.

Fourth Degree members belong to local units called assemblies.  
Each assembly is involved in a wide range of public patriotic
activities.

Individual assembls maintain a Fourth Degree Color Corps and
Honor Guard.  Uniformed members wearing colorful capes,
chapeaux and swords, participate in special civic and religious
ceremonies.
For this reason, the Fourth Degree is often called the visible arm
of the Knights of Columbus.

To qualify for the Fourth Degree, one must:

1.  Be over 18 years of age;

Congratulations
Brothers,

Please join me in congratulating Brothers Jon Anderson and
Robert Battista for completing their Second Degrees at St. Joseph
Church in Downingtown last night.  We all look forward to your
continued journey to Knighthood within our order.  Your service
and new ideas will help us create a stronger brotherhood together!


I encourage Jon, Robert, and all of our second degree brothers to
complete their Third Degree either March 6 at De La Salle
Council 590 in Springfield or March 20 at Monsignor Schuyler
Council 1333 in West Chester.  If anyone is interested in heading
up to either, please let me know.  I should have confirmed times
of the ceremonies by the
January General Meeting Wednesday night.


Congratulations,again, Jon and Robert!

Vivat Jesus!
Michael
