Who are the Knights?
The Knights of Columbus is the world's

members. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities
in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young
people.

Columbia magazine, the world's largest Catholic family magazine, eligibility
to join the Knights of Columbus top-ranked life insurance program, and many
more family and personal benefits.
How to join
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open
to practicing Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who are at least 18
years old. A practicing Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of
God and the precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from any
member of the Knights of Columbus.
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 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.
