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.
The Ladies Auxiliary's main function is to SUPPORT the men
and the council. They do this primarily by providing help at events,
cooking for events and providing monetary help. They also generally do
help with setting up and beautifying the hall for events.
