The Fourth Degree is the Patriotic Degree
It is an extension of the third degree. Members of this degree are addressed as “Sir Knight”. The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism and to encourage active Catholic citizenship.
Only Fourth Degree Knights may optionally join the Knights of Columbus’ prestigious Color Corps. The visible arm of the Knights, as they are often seen in parades, Church events & Mass's and other local events wearing their uniform, beret, baldric & sword.
The need for a patriotic degree was first considered in 1886, and a special plea was made at the National Meeting of 1899. The first Fourth Degree exemplification followed in 1900 with 1,100 Knights participating at the Lenox Lyceum in New York City. Today there are more than 2,500 Assemblies.
As of August 1, 2024 there are 4,814 Sir Knights in Connecticut, exemplifying 704 new Sir Knights in Connecticut during the last 4 years (2020-2024).
