 Any Third Degree member

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.

beautifying the hall for events.
 Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas
McDonald (1865-1929), the first Columbian Squires circle was instituted in
1925. Membership in the Squires is for Catholic boys between the ages of 10
and 17. Squires' activities are many, varying from spiritual to active
service for the Church and community. Each circle elects officer members from
their own rank, teaching skills of leadership and responsibility.
