The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree in the Knights of Columbus
is to inculcate a love of country and impress the duties of citizenship. Its
motto is Patriotism -- a patriotism enlightened and
informed by religion. 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. The Patriotic Degree allows knights to take this one step further.
The Admiral Callaghan Assembly proudly support our military Chaplains. We encourage you to learn about Servant of God Fr. Vincent Capodanno and Venerable Fr. Emil J. Kapaun. We join in prayer for both of their causes for Sainthood one day. These men gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Please take a moment and get to know these two men by clicking on their images.
