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 the 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"). Certain 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.

The Ladies Auxiliary's main function is to SUPPORT the men and the council.
They do this primarily by providing help at events, cooking for events and
providing monetary help. They also generally do help with setting up and
beautifying the hall for events.

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, varying from spiritual to active service for the Church and
community. Each circle elects officer members from their own rank, teaching
skills of leadership and responsibility.
