The primary purpose of this degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism in members and the community at large and encourage active Catholic citizenship. Local units, called assemblies, draw their members from Knights of Columbus councils.
We also have the “Sweats for Vets” program to provide sweat pants for the vets in our VA Hospitals. Our Assemblies help out with Picnics, Chapel service and recreation activities at the VA hospitals. Our “One Nation Under God” program is also an ongoing effort to keep this phrase in the pledge of allegiance.
In addition to the District Programs, each Assembly in our district carries on its own local programs. We are proud to be United States Citizens and we encourage our members and friends to support our Soldiers, our Government and the things that make this country the best place in the world to live. Last but not least we encourage everyone to display the flag of our country and to always display it properly.
