DAPHNE — The Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree Assemblies are associations of affiliated councils’ Fourth Degree Members. Recently, The Knights of Columbus Bay of the Holy Spirit Assembly 2573, consisting of Fourth Degree Members from Councils 2737 (Daphne), 8959 (Fairhope), 11554 (Bay Minette), and 14507 (St. Dominic in Mobile), received the Bienville Province Assembly of the Year Award at the Bienville Provincial Banquet
The Bienville Province consists of 207 Fourth Degree Assemblies across Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas. 
The fourth principle of the Knights of Columbus is “patriotism,” which is assigned to the Fourth Degree Assemblies, and it helps Knights to put their faith, and their love of country, into action. Members of the Fourth Degree have the honor of holding the title “Sir Knights” and participating in color and honor guards at local events.
