Thanks for looking this up for us, Cathy.  This sounds like a nicer group than the Moose.  My chapter was falling apart and I lost transportation to get to the meetings.

congratulations sir knight Henry. since I did not know what your good news really meant, I naturally researched the topic!

here is what I learned for those interested. always good to learn something new.

The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organization. It was founded by the Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1882, and named in honor of the navigator Christopher Columbus. Originally serving as a mutual benefit society to low-income immigrant Catholics, it developed into a fraternal service organization dedicated to providing charitable services, promoting Catholic education and actively defending Catholicism in various nations.[The Fourth Degree is the highest degree of the order. It is an extension of the third degree. Members of this degree are addressed as "Sir Knight". The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism and to encourage active Catholic citizenship. Fewer than 18% of Knights join the Fourth Degree, which is optional; of a total 1,703,307 Knights there were 292,289 Fourth Degree Knights.[27] A Knight is eligible to join the Fourth Degree after he has taken his third degree.
