HomeTHE ARIZONA DISTRICTThe Arizona District is comprised of 41 Assemblies throughout Arizona. Annual activities include a variety of patriotic events. Fourth Degree Honor Guards are found participating in events such as Rosary Sunday, Episcopal and pastoral installations, presenting the Colors at athletic events, escorting the Relics of the six Mexican Martyrs and Relics of the Passion, marching in parades and the Feast of the Holy Innocents.
The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of
patriotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and
loyalty to our country through active membership in local Fourth
Degree groups (called "assemblies"). Certain members of our assembly
serve as honor guards at civic and religious functions, an activity
that has brought worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus. Knights of Columbus and the Wheelchair Foundation Donate Wheelchairs to Local Veteran Organizations.

The program was announced in the September edition of Columbia
Magazine and in the September 10th issue of the KnightLine. Worthy
State Deputy Stanley Schroeder cam back from the Supreme Convention
with two copies of the painting of Our Lady of Charity, the
patroness of Cuba, which will be traveling between councils and
parishes as the focus of a rosary centered prayer program.
Arizona, in union with the entire order, will be offering this
prayer program for the intentions of His Holiness, Pope Benedict
XVI. Next year at the conclusion of the program, a "spiritual
bouquet ", including the total number of participants and services
held will be presented to the Holy Father. "It is altogether appropriate for the Knights to honor Our Lady
of Charity this year since charity is one of our founding
principles. This program is an opportunity to reflect on the virtue
of Charity and what it means to every Knight,” said Supreme Knight,
Carl A. Anderson. Ed Deppert, Family Life Program Director, is coordinating the
scheduling of the Our Lady of Charity tour. Below are links to
information needed to plan and schedule the tour in your council or
parish.
