POPE JOHN PAUL II
Fourth Degree Assembly # 952
Sixth St.
& Arnold Avenue, Clearfield, PA 16830
...In Service to one, In Service to all... "For God and Country" Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. Pictured is the Fourth Degree Emblem. Bearers of this emblem are committed to conduct themselves
honorably as Christian gentlemen in their private and public lives, as well as acting patriotically for the good of their
nations. Likewise, the Fourth Degree sword represents the bearer's reverence for the Eucharist and the Pope, bishops and hierarchy
of the Church, and displays publicly his willingness to protect his Church and priests. Considered under a religious aspect, we
have the honor and privilege of wearing on our swords and our lapels the sacred symbol of the Most Blessed Trinity. This should
always remind us to live a good Christian life, and that we should never bring dishonor on the emblem we have been privileged
to wear. By this, others may see our good works, through which we will glorify our Holy Religion, our Honored Order and our
Beloved Country. NEXT Assembly

This degree open to members of the Knights of Columbus is that of the Fourth (or Patriotic) Degree. On February 22, 1900, the first exemplification of that degree was held in New York City. The ritual added patriotism to the three original principles of the Order: charit, unity and fraternity. 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 partiotism 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. Fourth Degree members must retain their membership as Third Degree members in the local council to remain in good standing. |
