For those of you that don't know, the Knights of Columbus are the largest fraternal organization within the Catholic Church. KofC I have been a knight for over 2 years and I am currently the financial secretary for Council 10497 at Corpus Christi in Stone Mountain. We provide a lot of charity work as well as offer life and health insurance to members and their families. If you ever see a pancake breakfast or a fish fry after mass, there's a good chance it's being done by the Knights of Columbus. Saturday, I officially became a 4th degree knight with the Knights of Columbus. The private ceremony took place Saturday morning with a banquet on Saturday evening. It was a formal occasion, meaning I had to wear a tuxedo, as you can see in the pictures. It was a very wonderful occasion, as Rhian got to meet a lot of the people with whom I have been associated an had a really great time. One of the benefits of being a 4th degree member, is that now I can participate in ceremonies where I can dress in full regalia as part of the honor guard. In fact, there will be over 200 Knights participating in a ceremony with the Pope when he comes to America.
