Only three requirements:

- Have to be a male.
- Be a practical Catholic (one who follows the precepts of the Church).
- Must be 18 years or older.

[quote name='Paladin D' date='Dec 8 2005, 11:41 AM']I am now officially a member of the Knights of Columbus, [b]1st degree[/b]. :

We had a total of 7 candidates (including me) who received their 1st degrees in Lynchburg, Virginia.  Since our council (Blessed Trinity, 11741) doesn't have a 1st degree program, we had to travel northward (from Clarksville) to Lynchburg.  We left Clarksville at 5pm, went west to pick up a couple people in South Boston, then had to meet with a deputy general in Danville (who knew the exact location of the hall where the ceremony would take place), and drove north to Lynchburg.  We didn't arrive there till 7:40pm EST.  5 of the candidates were from our council, while the remaining 2 were from another.

The ceremony started at 8pm EST, afterwards we had a meeting, then some food in their "lodge".  We didn't get to leave till 10pm, and we arrived in Clarksville till near 12:00am.  Then, I had to get a ride home to another town, which took about 30-40 minutes, not to mention stopping for gas.  So by the time I stepped into the front door, it was 1:00am EST.

I really, really, enjoyed the ceremony and the company.  The Knights are awesome, and our council is a great crowd of devout Catholic men who want to serve the people, the Church, and Christ.  There's a bunch more I can talk about, but I'll just leave it at that.

[b]EDIT:[/b] My official title is "candidate", I won't actually be dubbed a "knight" till my 3rd degree.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you can make it to the Eucharistic Congress, there were about 20 Knights of Columbus there, they are so cool! And a BIG NEEDED help. Though I must say, at the cathedral, I felt like I was in England! :

I KNEW IT!!! I always thought that's what happened!!

When Chad came home after he was initiated he told me that he swore on his honor as a Catholic male, so I never even bothered to ask what happened....
