Worthy Brother Knight Tom,

I hope this message finds you well.

I wanted to remind you about the upcoming Fourth Degree Exemplification on

Saturday, July 19th. This is a special opportunity to take the next step in

your journey as a Knight of Columbus. Our Council records indicate that you

are a member in the Third Degree.

Why Become a Fourth Degree Sir Knight?

When I reflect on why I joined the Fourth Degree, several key reasons come

to mind:

* Becoming part of a community of Sir Knights dedicated to making a

positive impact in the Church and society.

* Advancing to the Patriotic Degree, the highest degree of our Order.

* The opportunity to join the Honor Guard and participate in important

Church and community events.

* Supporting Veterans through initiatives like our Hockey Night

Fundraiser, Veterans’ Mass, Rosary, and Luncheon, and cookouts for Veterans

at the South Park Inn in Hartford.

* Honoring our nation through efforts such as flag sponsorship at the

Iwo Jima Memorial, flag installations at Fairview Cemetery, and marching in

the Memorial Day Parade.

* Standing in solidarity with our priests, deacons, and pastors as

members of the Patriotic Degree.

A Historic Year for the Fourth Degree

This year marks the 125th Anniversary of the Fourth Degree, officially

celebrated on February 22nd. The milestone was honored with a grand

Exemplification and Mass at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, where

over 700 candidates, including 44 from Connecticut, took this important

step.

A Unique Opportunity to Grow the Fourth Degree

In honor of this anniversary, districts worldwide are striving to recruit

at least 125 new Sir Knights in an Exemplification this year.

This Exemplification is particularly special due to the updated policy

allowing wives and friends to attend as guests. This can be a meaningful

experience for your family.
