The Color Corps has two sub-groups, the Color Guard and the Honor Guard. The Color Guard consists of the flag bearers and at least two members of the Honor Guard who escort the colors. The Honor Guard consists of members of the Color Corps who have mastered the Manual of the Sword as described in the 2025 Drill Manual. All members of the Color Corps belong to the Honor Guard.
The public appearance of Fourth Degree Knights as a Color Corps at religious and civic functions is an important activity for each assembly. They add dignity and the pride of Church and country to any event. By these public demonstrations their loyalties bring credit to themselves and to the Knights of Columbus.
The following are the published Color Corps requests of the Assembly. To participate in any of these events you must contact Corps Commander Bob Gabel or 910-685-2854.
