Exemplification June 7, 2026

     Letter from the Master

  This year we are planning a spectacular Patriotic Fourth Degree Exemplification.  Being the special celebration year of the 250th Birthday of America, we are asking you to lead 80 or more candidates into making their pledge to the Fourth Degree. We will also be celebrating our Honoree State Deputy Robert Schwarz of our great state of Massachusetts to preside over this class of candidates.

This Exemplification is open to the public.  Family and friends will witness the entire Exemplification and can even assist their family members to be escorted to the Master for Knighting.

One of the highlights of this Exemplification will be that all assemblies will be tasked with bringing their American flags to take part in the “Parade of Flags” before the dinner begins.

The admission charge for Candidates is $80.00, including Fourth Degree Pin, Certificate suitable for framing, Dinner Ticket and fee to the Supreme Council. Additional Dinner tickets are $55.00 per person.  Menu for the Dinner is as follows:  Caesar Salad, Rolls, New York Strip Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Roasted Vegetables, Dessert, Coffee, Tea.

Chrism Mass

Jack, 

Thank you and our Worthy Master for leading us today (Tuesday, 3/31/2026) at the Chrism Mass. What a wonderful and blessed time to be with all of our Diocesan priests.

It was a wonderful time to pray for all our sick brother Knights and for our Bishop Byrnes for his fast recovery. 

We had eight members of the 4th Degree Honor Guard there. 

It was truly an Honor and privilege to be there with my brother Knights in this celebration.

God Bless,
Dan Therrien
