WHO ARE THE 4TH DEGREE?
They are the Knights on Main Street, the men you probably envision when someone says Knights of Columbus to you. They’re present in their UNIFORM at civic and Church events, acting as honor guards and color corps, or standing in respect at the funerals of members or during adoration of the Eucharist. But there is more to being a Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus than a uniform. They are the men who have chosen to embrace the Order’s fourth principle of patriotism, the men who lead the efforts to reach out to veterans and active military and to embody the fact that one can be a faithful Catholic and also be a faithful citizen.When the Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882, three principles united its members: charity, unity and fraternity. At that time people feared that members of the Catholic faith owed their entire allegiance to the Church and could not be trusted as citizens of their country. Patriotism was added to the Order’s principles in 1900, based on the idea that Knights are loyal to both God and country. Members who wish to live out patriotism together can join “the Fourth Degree.” Members of this degree have the special honor of holding the title “Sir Knight,” participating in color and honor guards and organizing programs that promote Catholic citizenship.

A GREAT WAY TO BE A PART OF CITYWIDE EVENTS, MEET NEW BROTHERS, SEE DIFFERENT PARISHES AND BEAUTIFUL CHURCHES, CATHEDRALS AND BASILICAS....
A Reflection from Deacon Allan J. Frederiksen
Justin, a child of Greek parents, was born in Nablus, in what is now the West Bank,
about AD 100. He is known in the Greek as Ioustinos ho martys. He is also known
as Justin the Philosopher.
In about 155 AD he wrote a letter of “Apology” to the Roman Emperor Antonius
Pius, asking the Emperor to stop the persecution of the Church. This letter is part
of a series written to explain to the Emperor the Christian faith, the true faith.
For the sake of space and time, only a small part of the letter will be presented
here, but in it we will recognize the early celebration of Mass.
I have added Italics as a simple explanation of some of the events Justin describes.
“On the day we call the Day of the Sun (pagan worship by much of the Roman
world), all who dwell in the city and in the country gather in the same place. The
memoirs of the Apostles (The Gospels and The New Testament Letters) and the
writings of the prophets (The Old Testament) are read, as much as time permits (the
Mass is not restricted to about one hour).
When the reader is finished, he who presides over those gathered admonishes and
challenges them to imitate those beautiful things.
Then we all rise and offer prayers for ourselves and for all others, wherever they
may be (The Prayers of the Faithful). Then someone brings bread and a cup of
water and wine mixed together to the one who presides over the brethren. He takes
them and offers praise and glory to the Father of the Universe, through the name of
the Son and the Holy Spirit (The Eucharistic Prayers).
When he has concluded these prayers and thanksgiving, all present give voice to an
acclamation (The Doxology) by saying Amen. When he who presides has given
thanks and the people responded. Those we call Deacons give those present the
Eucharistic bread and wine and water, and take the Eucharistic elements, the Body
and Blood of Christ, to those who are absent.”.Peace,
Deacon Allan
