The classic ceremonial hats and capes of Fourth Degree members of the Knights of Columbus that you may have seen at Mass or at parish events will now be getting a major alteration.
"This fraternal year, we make another historic change. The Board of Directors has decided that the time is right for a modernization of the Fourth Degree uniform," Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus Carl Anderson announced on Tuesday at the Knights' 135th annual international convention in St. Louis, Mo.
The Knights of Columbus is an international Catholic men's organization with over 1.9 million members worldwide. The organization promotes four virtues of fraternity, unity, charity, and solidarity among its members.
