The 4th Degree is a Patriotic Degree. For most men who follow Jesus, there comes a time when duty extends beyond our own lives, 
beyond how we lead our families, and into how we serve our fellow man. That's what the Knights of Columbus is all about. The Patriotic Degree allows knights to take this one step further. "Sir Knight" is more than a title. It's an honor.The Apostolate for Holy Relics (4th Degree) (2)
Brothers,
Marian Council 5748 has just scheduled what I am certain will be a deeply spiritual event for the Sunday before Palm Sunday. The Apostolate for Holy Relics will bring the ‘Relics of the Passion’ to St. Catherine of Sienna’s in Manchester, NH on March 26th for a 2pm service. Since the first public tour in 2007, the Relics of the Passion have been venerated in more than 20 diocese in the U. S., Guam and the Philippines.
The request for a Fourth Degree Team is being made, to add a sense of reverence to the event (highlighted below) and as a thanks for their participation will allow Fourth Degree Members to spend a moment with the Relic of the True Cross upon their chest.
There is a possibility of another event in Derry but they are not yet certain. I am genuinely excited about this service and look forward to welcoming many Brother Knights of Columbus from across New Hampshire to our parish!
I’ve attached a couple items from the relictour.org page. Chip Lukitsch has been appointed contact for this event, for the 4th Degree, District of New Hampshire, and all intentions to participate and support Council #5748 and the District of New Hampshire, should be directed toward him. Please register with Area Marshall, Chip Lukitsch at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Thank you and God bless.
Vivat Jesus!
