March 2026 Exemplification for New Members

Time: 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM
Date: Sunday, March 22nd, 2026
Location: Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Center Library

Exemplification Ceremony at the Parish Hall on Sunday March 22nd at 2:00 PM

This Ceremony has a long tradition within the Knights of Columbus, in which candidates will be introduced and welcomed by several members of our Leadership Team and other fellow Knights of Council 9924 into the Order through the Exemplification to our key values of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity. At the conclusion of this ceremony all candidates will be sworn into Council 9924 as Third Degree Knights.   

Members of our Leadership Team and other Current Knights of 9924 are invited to attend the Exemplification as a show of Fraternity to welcome the new Knights to our Council. Recommended attire for everyone is business casual.  That is, a collared shirt and long trousers.  Candidates are encouraged to invite spouses and other guests to witness your ceremony.

All candidates can at a later date apply to become a Fourth Degree Knights.  This requires a separate Exemplification Ceremony conducted at the state level.  Numerous Council 9924 Knights are also Fourth Degree Knights.

Finally, Sponsors are needed to assist and support our new Brother Knights during this important step. If you'd be interested in being a sponsor, or if you know of anyone that may be interested in knowing more about joining Council 9924, please contact Steve Vacca at stevac58@yahoo.com.
