Membership brings the benefits of fellowship and community

coming months. For more information, please contact our Membership Chairman,
Stu Nolan.
The Fourth Degree
Are you aware that any Third Degree member of the Knights in
good standing, one year after the anniversary of his First
Degree, is eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree. The primary purpose of
the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible
citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries
through active membership in local Fourth Degree groups (called
"assemblies"). Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve as honor
guards at civic and religious functions, an activity that has brought worldwide
recognition to the Knights of Columbus. Dates and locations for initiation into
the Fourth Degree will be announced as they become available.
The Columbian Squires
Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald
(1865-1929), the first Columbian Squires circle was instituted in
1925. Membership in the Squires is for Catholic boys between the ages of 12 and
17. Squires' activities are many, varying from spiritual to active service for
the Church and community. Each circle elects officer members from their own
rank, teaching skills of leadership and responsibility. If you have an interest
in helping with this worthwhile endeavor, please contact
Dave Wilson, Council Grand Knight.
