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 a 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”). Some 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. |

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 and varied, encompassing both spiritual and active service work for
the Church and the community. Each Circle elects officers from its own membership
ranks, by means of which, skills of leadership and responsibility are taught. |
