"Degree of Patriotism"
The Fourth Degree Emblem

The Knights of Columbus , an array of dedicated Catholic gentleman, glory in the epithet, "The right arm of the Catholic Church".

Sir Knight's of the Fourth Degree, deem it an honor and privilege to carry our triad emblem which features the Dove, the Cross, and the Globe.

Our Honored Order cherishes as it's Patron, Christopher Columbus. Christopher-"Christ-bearer, Columbus- Dove of Peace, symbolizing the Paraclete. The Cross of Christ is the sign of our Christian faith, the Globe depicts the New World, the miraculous discovery of Columbus.

Spiritually, the sacred symbols fashioned on our sword and lapel pin, the union of the Three Divine Persons in one Godhead- the Most Holy Trinity.

God willing, may we, Christian Soldiers in the Columbian Crusade, lend loyalty to our Honored Order, Patriotism to our beloved America and devotion to the Holy Church....all for the Glory of God Almighty!
