Membership
Once a candidate completes
the First Degree ceremony on the lesson of charity, he
is considered a Knight of Columbus and can participate
in all council activities. First Degree members are
encouraged to attain the Second and Third Degrees, which
teach the lessons of unity and fraternity. Upon taking
the Third Degree, a member receives full honors of
Knighthood and is "Knighted."
Privileges of Third Degree membership include the
ability to serve as a local council officer, and
admission to state and Supreme Council business
meetings. First and Second Degree members can attend the
state and Supreme Council meetings, but they are not
allowed in the business sessions.
