The Patriotic
Degree consists of Catholic gentlemen steadfast to
the Most Blessed Trinity and ideals of
Catholicism. This should always remind us
to live a good Christian life, and that
we should never bring dishonor to
Catholicism or the emblem we have been
privileged to wear. By this, others may
see our good works, through which we will
glorify our Holy Religion, our Honored
Order and our Beloved Country.
The Knights of Columbus is consecrated to
the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Order
fosters devotion to Our Lady and, in
particular, encourages its members and
their families to pray the rosary as
often as possible. The Order is
unequivocal in its loyalty to the Pope,
the Vicar of Christ on earth, our
Bishops, and Priests.

THE ROSARY
 (How to Pray the
Rosary)
- Looking
at the cross, we hold it while we
make the sign of the cross and
say the Apostle's
Creed which is a summary
of all the things we believe as
Catholics.
- On
this separate bead, we say an Our Father, the
prayer that Jesus taught us.
- On
each of the next three beads, we
say the Hail Mary.
- On
this separate bead, we announce
the first mystery. ( Joyful - Mondays and
Saturdays, Sorrowful - Tuesdays and
Fridays, Glorious - Wednesdays and Sundays,
Luminous - Thursdays)
We reflect on what
happened to Jesus at this time
and we think about what it means
in our lives today. We say the Our Father.
- We
say one Hail Mary on each of
the next 10 beads. Then we say
the Glory Be, then say
the Fatima
Prayer.
- On
this separate bead, we announce
the second mystery, (Joyful / Sorrowful / Glorious /
Luminous)
reflect, and say the Our Father.

the next ten beads. Then we say
the Glory Be, then say
