When the Veterans of the 4th Degree Knights of Columbus dress in full regalia, it is a reminder we are ready to serve again. It is the highest and most prestigious degree within the Knights of Columbus. The regalia (uniform) of the Fourth Degree, the cape, chapeau, sword and tuxedo were inspired by the naval officer’s uniform of the late 1800s. The Color Corps or Honor Guard fills requests for church services, special Masses, wakes, funerals, dedications, Exemplification, community and business Patriotic ceremonies, parades and events.



The Fourth Degree Color Corps

The most visible arm of the Knights of Columbus is the Color Corps of the Fourth Degree.  Dressed formally in black tuxedo, and with the addition of a colorful cape, chapeau with ostrich feathers, and carrying a sword, these indicate to all that the Knights of Columbus are truly present.  Many have seen Color Corps at liturgical affairs, civic affairs, and Knights of Columbus affairs, indicating the importance of the event or the principal attendee.

 

Each Fourth Degree Assembly forms a Color Corps under the direction of the Assembly’s Color Corps Commander and provides Honor Guards for Wakes for members, First Holy Communions, Confirmations, and the installations of Council and Assembly officers.
