Any Third Degree member 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. INFORMATION
