WHO WE ARE

FOURTH DEGREE CORNER
There are four degrees of membership in the Knights. The first three degrees represent the values of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity. The Fourth Degree is dedicated to the virtue of Patriotism, fostering that spirit in all members and the community at large. The Fourth Degree is the one most familiar to the public, identified by distinctive regalia and their participation in color corps and honor guards. They work tirelessly in their outreach to our nation's military - active, infirmed, or retired. The Fourth Degree is a position of prestige and something for which all Knights should strive.

Council Presented with Awards for the 2024 - 2025 Colombian Year
Worthy Brothers,
At our February council meeting, I was presented two awards from our District Deputy and fellow council member, Michael Zazzeri, who was representing Supreme.
The first of these, the Father McGivney Award, is recognition for the successful completion of membership goals for the past year. I want to thank SK Rick Morschauser who assumed the leadership position of this responsibility mid year and did a great job recruiting the new members.
The second, the Columbian Award, is more encompassing in meaning and importance to us as a council. It is the official acknowledgement and recognition of the dedication, time, devotion and selflessness that we as a council willingly gave to our community last year. It is proof of our unity, of our brotherhood, of our charitable being.
These awards are your awards, I was fortunate enough to be the man standing in front when you earned these.
Thank you,
Vivat Jesus!
Tom Corbett Past Grand Knight
Congratulations to Our Newest Knights
On February 2nd we held an exemplification for our new brother Knights, Dennis Messick and Tom Grywatch. It was a very nice ceremony. I want to thank the exemplification team (Rick, Jeff, Bob and Scott) for doing such a great job. I want to thank Father Thanh for presiding as our chaplain for the exemplification. I also want to thank our guest Marty Yakimovich (Knights of Columbus field agent) for attending the exemplification and talking to our executive officer's about the Knight's insurance. It is always a pleasure when Marty comes to visit our council. Congratulations Dennis and Tom and welcome to council 12537.
Vivat Jesus!
