Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree Chalice

                 Fourth Degree Chalice

      Each Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus may choose to have a chalice presented to a priest or bishop. The Sir Knight's name is engraved on the bottom of the chalice. A Chalice Ceremony is conducted during the funeral Mass of the Sir Knight. Each time Mass is celebrated with the chalice, the Sir Knight is remembered in prayers.
