General Worth
Fort Worth, TX US GENERAL WORTH ASSEMBLY HISTORY The fourth degree in Fort Worth was organized by Sir Knight Thomas P Fenelon and four other members in 1905. (this information is from a newspaper clipping and we do not know when or where these first members received their Exemplification.) Minutes of early meetings in Fort Worth show the name of the Assembly as Fourth Degree Assembly No. 759. (It was the practice at that time to call the assembly after the council where it was founded.) By-laws adopted and approved by Supreme Master John H Reddin, on Feb 17 1936 changed the name to Fort Worth Assembly No. 759, fourth Degree Knights of Columbus. |

Minutes of the meeting on October 11, 1938 show that the Assembly became a General Assembly (meaning that it draws its membership from more that one council) and the name was changed to General Worth, General Assembly, Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus. This has now been changed to General Worth Assembly, Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus No. 1089. W.G. Crush Master of Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Louisiana held the first exemplification in the southwest in Dallas on February 22, 1907. General Worth Assembly is in the 3rd district of the Guadalupe Province. This Province is named in honor of our Lady and comprises Texas and Oklahoma.
Fourth Identity
Fourth Degree Knights
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.
A Fourth Degree Knight may become part of the assembly's color corps. These members are recognized widely by their distinctive attire of tuxedo, feathered hat (chapeau), cape and sword. These members regularly take part in civic events such as parades and wreath-laying ceremonies, and at ecclesial functions at Catholic churches. The various colored capes and chapeau feathers denote different officer positions within the Fourth Degree.
