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.
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 12 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.
