Any Third Degree member in good standing, one year after the anniversary of his First Degree, is eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree. 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 the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local Fourth Degree groups (called "assemblies"). Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve as honor guards at civic and religious functions, an activity that has brought worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus.

Our local Assembly is the Mother Theresa Assembly 2562 in Douglasville, GA. We meet monthly at the different local Council sites to conduct business and to provide a social atmosphere for member Sir Knights to gather.

Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald (1865-1929), the first Columbian Squires circle was instituted in 1925. Membership in the Squires is for Catholic boys between the ages of 12 and 17. Squires' activities are many, varying from spiritual to active service for the Church and community. Each circle elects officer members from their own rank, teaching skills of leadership and responsibility.

At this time, Council 12287 is formulating a local Squires Circle here in Dallas, GA. If you have a young boy that would be interested in joining our upcoming Squires Circle, then please contact Grand Knight Andy Carignan III at carignan3@yahoo.com
