4th Degree Exemplification

St. Michael the Archangel Council will be hosting a Fourth Degree Exemplification on Saturday, January 17^th at noon. All Knights are welcome to join the 4^th Degree and participate in this ceremony. 

When the Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882, three principles united its members: charity, unity and fraternity. At that time people feared that members of the Catholic faith owed their entire allegiance to the Church and could not be trusted as citizens of their country. Patriotism was added to the Order’s principles in 1900, based on the idea that Knights are loyal to both God and country.

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. Your families are welcome to attend as well.
