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.
