Reach your highest potential

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

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

Each assembly maintains 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 Knights of Columbus.

Each year an award, the 4th degree bell, is given for having the most new 4th degree memebers in a province. This year the award went to our assembly, the McNamara Assembly for having 45 sir knights. Thanks to the outstanding participation of the Mount St. Mary's College and Seminary Council the McNamara Assembly was able to win the longed for 4th degree bell.

25 of these new sir knights came from the our council.
