Summer 4th Degree Exemplification
July 15, 2023 * 8:00 am - 12:30 pm
Mary, Mother of the Church, Cliff Road East, Burnsville, MN, USA
Our Annual “Summer Super Degree” hosted by Mother Theresa Assembly #2812 is coming up on Saturday, July 15th at Mary, Mother of the Church, Burnsville, MN. This is a one-day event where our State Ceremonial team will perform the Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity followed by the Fourth-Degree Ceremonial Exemplification of Patriotism. This means that you can bring eligible men into the order and they can complete all of their degrees in one day. It is not too soon to begin recruiting for the single day exemplification. Watch for registration information on the state website around June 7th.
The schedule for the day will be:
08:00 am – 08:30 am Registration for the Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity.
08:30 am – 09:30 am Ceremonial Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity.
09:00 am – 10:00 am Registration for the Exemplification of Patriotism.
10:00 am – 12:30 pm Fourth-Degree Ceremonial Exemplification of Patriotism.
It’s never been easier or less expensive for candidates to join the Fourth-Degree. Candidates must be 3rd Degree Knights in good standing, complete a form 4 application and pay the registration fee ($50 for candidates, $30 for Deacons). Priests will be Exemplified for Free. Now is a great time to get all of the clergy in the District active in our Assemblies.
The Exemplification of the Fourth-Degree is still regarded as a Secret Ceremonial by Supreme Council rules. Third and Fourth Degree Membership cards will be required and verified to ensure that only candidates and qualified Fourth-Degree Members are present during this ceremonial.
Attire for a candidate is black or dark suit with a white shirt and necktie (tuxedo may be worn also). Any candidate serving in the armed forces of his country, fulltime police and firefighters may wear their Class A or dress uniform. Clergy and Seminarians wear their normal dress. Fourth-Degree Members should wear the Uniform of the 4th Degree or are welcome to observe the Exemplification wearing a black or dark suit with a white shirt and necktie.
We are in very challenging times, but we all need to do our part to grow the Fourth Degree and strengthen our Order. Only through the efforts of each Assembly in the District, can we grow our membership and make this Exemplification a great success. Help a brother Knight complete his journey to Knighthood.
