Who we are
Who we are
The St. Steven’s Assembly has existed for many years, but we are at the point where we must replace ourselves. I am asking you, my brother knight, to do just that.
The Fourth Degree is often known as ‘The Patriotic Degree’.
St. Steven’s Assembly Vision & Goals
- Proudly Serving the Country
Knights of the Patriotic Degree glorify God by serving our communities and nations as though Christ were the one being served.
- Unwavering Support of the Faith
Knights of the Patriotic Degree hold unwaveringly to what is right and honorable, working to keep God in the civic arena, serving the life of the Church, and defending laws that recognize the sanctity of life and true religious liberty.
They’re present in their distinct regalia at civic and Church events, acting as honor guards and color corps, standing in respect at the funerals of members, or during adoration of the Eucharist. But there is more to being a Fourth-Degree member of the Knights of Columbus than a uniform. They are the men who have chosen to embrace the Order’s fourth principle of patriotism, the men who lead the efforts to reach out to veterans and active military and to embody the fact that one can be a faithful Catholic and also be a faithful citizen.
Questions I receive about joining the Fourth Degree.
“I just can’t attend two meetings a month!” Like the Third Degree, the monthly meetings are not mandatory, Work and home life are important and we stress the Family comes first. We do ask that you attend a meeting a few times a year.
“If I do become a member of the fourth Degree, do I have to purchase the Uniform?” No, the Color Corps is an ELECTIVE division of the Fourth Degree.
“If I do purchase the fourth Degree Uniform, will I be required to attend all the call-outs?” No, it would be nice if you could attend several a year. Final and most honored Degree and truly become “Sir Knight” Please Contact me at shawn.t.lynch12@Gmail or call me at (480) 329-1511 (Leave Message). I will help you fill out Form 4. I want to thank you for considering becoming a brother, Sir Knight.
