WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA
The fourth principle of the Knights of Columbus is Patriotism. This is reflected in the works and programs of the Assembly of the Fourth Degree. 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.
Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day the organization carries out their mission to Remember, Honor and Teach by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery as well as at more than 2100 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states at sea and abroad. On Saturday, December 19, 2020 members of our Assembly volunteered their services to assist the Wreaths Across America Organization and over 3,000 volunteers at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Millsboro, DE. Assembly members provided information and direction to the many volunteers who gathered to honor friends and loved ones interred at the site by placing wreaths on the graves of the deceased.

Fourth Identity
On February 22, 1900, the first Fourth Degree exemplification or degree ceremony was held in New York City. The Fourth Degree imparts a lesson on the virtue of patriotism. The primary purpose of this degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism in members and the community at large and encourage active Catholic citizenship. Today there are some 300,000 Fourth Degree Knights out of the total 1.7 million member Knights of Columbus. Local units, called assemblies, draw their members from Knights of Columbus councils. The qualifications for membership in the Fourth Degree are: membership in the Knights for at least one year and being a Third Degree Knight. |
