program, and many more family and personal benefits.
The Christ the King Parish council members are
active in Church Activities, Youth Activities, Family Activities, Community Service and
Council Activities.
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.
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.
