Dear Randy,
I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you and all the members of the Knights of Columbus for welcoming me into the fraternity last night.
The ceremony was truly wonderful and much more meaningful to me than I expected. I was quite emotional and deeply touched by the camaraderie, professionalism, and genuine friendliness shown by everyone. My wife and I both really enjoyed the evening, and it made me feel very proud and grateful to be welcomed into the brotherhood.
Being part of the church and now becoming a member of the Knights of Columbus is very special to me. I hope to live up to the example of the members who welcomed me and to be a good, dependable, and productive member of the Council and the community.
Thank you again, Randy, and please extend my sincere appreciation to everyone. I feel very fortunate to be a Brother and look forward to getting involved and getting to know everyone better.
Fraternally,
Terry
Any Third Degree member in good standing, six months after the anniversary of his First Degree, is eligible for the Fourth Degree. Its primary purpose is to foster the spirit of patriotism and responsible citizenship.
Certain Fourth Degree members serve as honour guards at civic and religious functions — an activity that has brought worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus.
The assembly for the mid-Vancouver Island region is Captain Alejandro Malaspina Assembly #34, named after the famous west-coast explorer, and includes Knights from the greater Nanaimo area.
