Fourth Degree

The Fourth Degree is the highest degree of the Knights of Columbus. It is offered only to those Knights who have shown themselves to be especially solicitous of the welfare of their Church, their families, their community and their nation.

To a considerable degree, Fourth Degree activities are family activities. For that reason we have prepared thee following information. It is intended as a brief overview of the Fourth Degree, and in particular, the special relationship it has to the ladies of it's members. Therefore we address these pages to you.

Encouragement

In all its programs and activities the Fourth Degree delights in the cooperation and company of the ladies. Only the actual business sessions and exemplifications are closed meetings. The Fourth Degree depends on the wives and ladies of its members to encourage and assist the Sir Knight in their duties and responsibilities as member, so that each member will realize his full potential as a member of this fraternal society, and as a member of the Mystical Body of Christ.

We ask for full and complete assistance of our ladies in our endeavors and we hope your association, and that of your Sir Knight, with the Fourth Degree result in many hours and year of fulfillment and enrichment and that it will also be socially rewarding.
