WHO ARE THE KNIGHTS?
The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic family fraternal service organization with 1.7 million members worldwide. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people. This is accomplished with support from men like you; for nothing can be done greatly alone. Your involvement with Pine Bush Council Knights of Columbus will enable us to continue to support the “homeless” with clothing, the “needy” with food, the youth with guidance and finances for their worthwhile activities, and our Church with its ministries and humane programs.

4th 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.
