and many more family and personal benefits.
Membership
in the Knights of Columbus is open to practicing Catholic men in union
with the Holy See, who are at least 18 years old. A practicing Catholic
is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the precepts of the
Church. Application blanks are available from any member of the Knights
of Columbus.

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.
