The Strength of Nations Depends upon Strength of Character.
For most men who follow Jesus, there comes a time when duty extends beyond our own lives, beyond how we lead our families, and into how we serve our fellow man. That’s what the Knights of Columbus is all about. And for those who are called to take it one step further, the Fourth Degree is the way
Standing Firm in Support of the Order.
Fourth Degree Knights are dedicated to the personal development and continued honor of brother Knights. We are always there to offer leadership, guidance, and encouragement—whether it is through educational programs or honoring those who are no longer with us. Fourth Degree Knights are integral to the preservation of the Order
Proudly Serving the Country.
Fourth Degree Knights glorify God by serving our communities and nations as though Christ were the one being served. We foster patriotism by teaching personal responsibility in civic affairs, working to honor and protect symbols of national pride, honoring veterans for their service and sacrifice, and facilitating voter turnout on election days. Finally, Fourth Degree Knights maintain a leadership role on important moral issues, recognizing that what a man stands for, defines him.
Unwavering in Support of the Faith.
We are in a time when too few Christians are pre pared to speak up for what they believe. Fourth Degree Knights hold unwaveringly to what is right and honorable. This means working to keep God in the civic arena. It means supporting and defending laws that recognize the sanctity of life and true reli gious liberty. And, of course, serving the life of the Church. Fourth Degree Knights are committed to building lives of character
Honoring the Legacy of Knighthood.

Color Corps members wear the colors with pride and honor, knowing they repre sent the very best of the Knights of Columbus
