Another degree open to members of the Knights of Columbusis that of the Fourth (or Patriotic) Degree. On February 22,1900, the first exemplification of that degree was held in NewYork City. The ritual added patriotism to the three originalprinciples of the Order: charit, unity and fraternity. Any ThirdDegree member in good standing, one year after the anniversary ofhis First Degree, is eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree.
The primary purpose of the Fourht Degree is to foster thespirit of partiotism by promoting responsible citizenship and alove of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries throughactive membership in local Fourth Degree groups calledassemblies. Fourth Degree members must retain their membership asThird Degree members in the local council to remain in goodstanding.
