Fourth Degree
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

citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries

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.
