Members who wish to live out patriotism together can join “the Fourth Degree.” Members of this degree have the special honor of holding the title “Sir Knight,” participating in color and honor guards and organizing programs that promote Catholic citizenship. They also become part of a Fourth Degree Assembly in their area. There are more than 3,500 Fourth Degree assemblies around the world.
The serving those Who Served program is a major initiative of the Fourth Degree supporting Veterans Affairs facilities. The Knights of Columbus has representatives at almost every Veterans Affairs medical clinic in the United States, where they recruit and manage K of C volunteers in developing activities and programs that aid patients’ most essential needs.
The Fourth Degree has also supported priests, in particular those who go on to serve as military chaplains. Through a special scholarship program, the Knights helped fund the education of seminarians preparing to become Catholic chaplains in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Sir Knights,

This event will start with a social at 6pm, pot luck meal at 6:30pm and installation of officers at 7:30pm. The Council and Assembly will provide the main dish (yet to be determined) with members whose last name start with A-L bringing a side dish, and member names M-Z bringing a dessert.
Dress for the evening is business casual, however officers of the 4th Degree are expected to wear a coat and tie, while officers of the 3rd Degree can wear coat and tie or the 3rd Degree vest.
