•W. – Candidates remain standing.
Worthy Chan. (salutes), in the name of
Christopher Columbus, I present to you
these candidates, who are desirous of
entering upon the second stage of their
journey to full knighthood under your
wise guidance.
(Gs. Of H., bearing credentials, flank W.)

Chan. -- The candidates
must first produce their
credentials.

W. -- Worthy Chan., on behalf of these
candidates I present to you this Rosary
and Compass, duly received by them
during the first stage of their journey as
a token of their worthiness for
advancement to this degree.
(He takes from the bearers the Rosary and
Compass, gives them to the Chan, who places
them on the pillow on the prepared table.)

•Chan. – Worthy W., from your
observation of their conduct
thus far, do you believe that
these candidates are sincere and
earnest in their desire to proceed
on their journey, and that they
will persevere to the end?

W. – Worthy Chan., I do so
believe.
(W. and Gs of H. salutes and return
to their stations. Aides remain
standing with candidates.)

Chan. – Worthy candidates, we bid
you a hearty welcome. The
emblems of the first stage of your
journey, which you present us, are
the proof that you have not only
listened to words of wisdom, but
that you have also profited by
them.

Chan. – They show that
the officers of your Council
are assured that you have
properly sought to prepare
yourselves for the burden
that you would assume.

Chan. – Ever remember the pledge you have
taken of secrecy with regard to our
ceremonials, and your promise of devotion to
Mary and her Rosary. Constantly keep before
you, as your guiding rule in life, the pursuit of
the high ideal of Charity, the first principle of
our Order. Upon you, my brother Knights, I
call.
(D. D. gives X X X Three raps) (All rise.)

Chan. – Do you,
remembering them, renew
these pledges, and promise to
persevere in the practice of
Charity?
The Council – We do.

•Chan. – (Turning to the candidates)
and you, candidates do you also
renew these pledges and promise to
persevere in the practice of Charity?
•Candidates – I do (D. D. X One
rap.)
•W. – Candidates, remain standing.

Chan. – Worthy candidates since you have
proven yourselves fitted and trained for the
honors you seek I shall now dwell with you
on the power of unity, the second principle of
our order. I trust to impress upon you the
might and strength that men possess when
united in the pursuit of a common purpose,
and to show you the conditions under which
such union can exist among us. Worthy W.,
distribute the fibers to the candidates.

( Music during distribution of fibers.
The W. here distributes the fibers to the
candidates and Chan.)
•Chan. – Candidates,
break the fiber you have
received.

Chan. – Now, break the
cable.
(The W. selects numerous sets of two
candidates each and hands them the cable.
The cable should be 1” to 1 ½” in diameter
and long enough so that two men can grasp it
firmly.)

W. – Worthy Chan., the candidates
have exemplified the strength of
Unity.
(W. hands cable to Chan. and salutes.)
(Music fades out.)

•Chan. – Worthy candidates, what
physical demonstration could be
simpler or more forceful than this
illustration of unity? The fiber, so
easily broken, when bound with others,
(demonstrates strength of cable) resist
every effort. As are the fibers to the
cable so are you, worthy sirs, to this,
our Order.

Chan.- -The strength and durability of
the cable depend on the quality of the
fibers and their perfect union in the
cable. Even though united in the
strands of the cable, imperfect or
worthless fibers prove a source of
weakness, hence all are not welcome to
our ranks.

Chan.- -Our charity, indeed, should be
universal, but it is neither prudent nor
wise that our Order should open its door
to all. Place high the standard required
to be reached by those who seek
admission into our ranks. Propose none
who come not up to that standard, and
measure every applicant by it.

Chan.- - When applicants are
voted on by your council, support
the decision of the Admissions
Committee, but exercise your
own best judgment. Fearlessly
use your right of rejection, but
wrong no man.

Chan.- - Let no selfish or petty
motivates control your action. Do
not admit into our number anyone
who fails in the test of practical
Catholicity. Reject all whose lives
are a reproach to Catholics or a
scandal to the community.

Chan.- - Not on numbers alone do
we rely, but on the spirit of a
common purpose and the boundless
powers of united action. Your fibers
being strong and trustworthy, then
and only then can you, in
confidence, weave your cable.

Chan.- - In the year of Our Lord
1882, Fr. Michael J. McGivney, a
young parish priest, found himself
in the midst of a living nightmare.
Awake or asleep, he was plagued by
the plight of his people who were
discriminated against because of
ancestry or religion;

Chan.- - tempted from all sides
to turn from their Faith; and
tormented by the poverty which
was almost certain destiny of
families whose breadwinner was
snatched, untimely, by the
hovering Angel of Death.

Chan.- - But out of this nightmare a
dream emerged, and the young
priest reacted as if inspired. Calling
together a handful of men to the
basement of St. Mary’s Church in
New Haven, Connecticut, he shared
his dream with them.

Chan.- - As of one mind, this
small but daring band rallied
around their shepherd, Father
Michael J. McGivney, and his
dream the Knights of
Columbus – became a reality.

Chan.- - Bound in unity, they reacted
together against bigotry.
Bound in unity, they stood firm in
the Faith of their fathers, encouraged by
mutual support.
Bound in unity, they chased the wolf
of poverty from the doors of their
brothers’ widows and children.

Chan.- - Yes, gentlemen, the
dream became reality. Yet the
reality that is our Order is still
imbued with the dream, the
vision, of Father McGivney, For
today, inspired by his courage and
example, it is our Order is still

Chan.- - Imbued with the dream,
the vision, of Father McGivney.
For today, inspired by his
courage and example, it is our
hallowed task to keep the dream
alive and, like him, to share with
others its promise for the future.

Chan.- - Each one of you, a
strong fiber in the cable of
Columbianism, must give of
himself that our brotherhood
shall ever endure.

Chan.- - There are many examples
which prove this truth. Turn back the
pages of history and our hearts thrill as
we read the stories of how the gallant
few, united in a righteous cause, have in
end vanquished the opposing hosts. The
might of unity is shown every army that
has trod the glorious path of victory,

Chan.- - and in every nation that
has handed down to the
generations the institutions which
guarantee liberty and peace.
Above all , the Catholic Church is
the greatest example the world has
ever known of the might of unity.

Chan.- - When her Divine Founder,
on His last night on earth, prayed
for His disciples, His principal
prayer was that they be one. Strong
in that unity, they, the poor
fishermen of Galilee, went forth and
conquered the world of Rome, great
in its might and culture.

Chan.- - Let us take warning by the
story of how near to failure came the
great voyage of Christopher Columbus.
He tells us how his men rose against
him, and how the eternal God gave him
the strength and courage necessary to
defeat their divided counsels, and to
enable him to accomplish his mighty
enterprise.

Chan.- - Profit by these examples and
pay heed to the warning. Dissension and
disloyalty spell defeat. Unity and
obedience herald the triumph of
tomorrow. Listen now, to the Worthy D.
D. as he tells you how you can win the
victory. Worthy W., proceed
(Chan. retires, W. proceeds to the prepared
tables.)

•W. – Worthy D. D. (salutes), the
candidates have been instructed as to
the strength and power of Unity, and
are now ready for your charge. –
(D. D. X X X Three raps.) (All stand.)
•D.D. – Worthy Crossbearer – carry the
Cross into our midst!

( Music Cue for Cross entrance.)
(The Crossbearer brings Cross forward per D.
D.’s previous instructions and as shown on Diagram
“A”. He comes to a halt facing the prepared table.)
(The D. D. selects a member to act as the
Cyrenean, helping the Crossbearer hold the Cross
while standing, facing the prepared table, with the foot
of the cross on the floor, at a 45° angle, forming an
anchor with the candidates)
(D. D. gives X One rap.) (All be seated.)
(Music fades out.)

D.D. – Worthy candidates, to us
as to the knights of old,
Knighthood means loyal service
in defense of Church and States,
and constant practice of the
virtue of Unity.

D.D. – Today, even as in the
ages past, both Church and State
have need of true and loyal sons.
The Church of God needs your
active support, enabling her to
carry out her sublime mission.

D.D. – She calls upon you to
devote your efforts to her cause.
She needs the force and strength
of the example of your lives,
loyal to her teachings and
obedient to her commands.

D.D. – Not only does the Church,
but even more urgently does the
State need you, as the strong
champions of the great principles
upon which all lawful authority
and government are founded.

D.D. – Thus do Church and
State seek true and loyal men,
who shall prove to be their
valiant and intelligent
defenders. Be then such men!

D.D. – To be ready and effective,
you must possess both unity in
purpose and unity in action.
Unity of purpose comes to us
through obedience and loyalty to
our chosen officers.

D.D. – This means discipline,
without which there can be no
unity. Unity of action comes
to us through our acceptance
of a common standard and an
infallible guide.

D.D. – Our standard is the Cross,
this very Cross before you, which
is typical of that Sacred Cross
which bore our Lord and Master,
whose teachings we reverently
accept as the principles to which
we pledge our lives.

D.D. – Our God-appointed and
unerring guide is the Holy
Catholic Church. Let us raise on
high that standard the Cross, and
follow that guide, the Church, in
our every word and deed.

D.D. – Then, as we march
forward into combat, let us
cry out with our Fathers, the
Crusaders of old: “God wills
it! God wills it!”

D.D. – I now call upon all
present to take with me the
pledge of Unity. I shall first
recite it, so that you may know
what you are required to
promise:

“I promise, / upon my honor as a
Catholic gentleman, / that I will obey
the Laws, Rules and Ceremonials of this
Order, / and will so conduct my life / as
not to bring scandal on the Church or
the Order. / I further promise / that I will
ever abide in unity / with the officers
and members of this Order / and of my
Council. /

I further promise / by this Cross, /
loyalty and obedience to the Catholic
Church, /to our Supreme Pontiff, / our
Bishops and Priests. / these promises I
regard / as binding upon me in
conscience / until death.”
You will now repeat this pledge after
me.

•D.D. – (X X X Three raps.)
•W. – Candidates and
members arises and raise you
right hands.

“I promise, / upon my honor as a
Catholic gentleman, / that I will obey
the Laws, Rules and Ceremonials of
this Order, / and will so conduct my life
/ as not to bring scandal on the Church
or the Order. / I further promise / that I
will ever abide in unity / with the
officers and members of this Order /
and of my Council. /

I further promise / by this Cross, /
loyalty and obedience to the
Catholic Church, /to our Supreme
Pontiff, / our Bishops and Priests. /
these promises I regard / as binding
upon me in conscience / until
death.”
(At conclusion, D. D. gives X One rap.)

W. – Candidates, lower your
right hands, and remain
standing. Worthy G. K.,
(salutes) the candidates are
ready for your charge.

•G.K. – (D. D. may take the part of the
G. K.) Worthy candidates, (holds the
Anchor upright), the emblem of this
degree is the Anchor, the universal
symbol of hope, and we have
chosen it because in unity, under
God, lies the hope that this Order
shall accomplish its high aims.

G.K. – As you stand here, you form part of
an anchor, made up of the greatest of all
symbols, the rainbow, (holds Anchor upside-
down), God’s sign to Noah that He would
never send the flood again; and the Cross,
(returns the Anchor to the upright position), the
covenant given by Jesus through His death
and resurrection. These are the signs of God’s
two covenants with man, the one promising
temporal, the other eternal happiness.

G.K. – So, ever rallying around the
standard of the Cross, may you live
in perfect unity. I shall now invest
you with this Anchor, trusting that
you may be inspired with the same
hope in unity that is cherished by
every true Knight.

(Music cue for investing music.) (G. K.
proceeds, with the W. at his side, to touch
each candidates on the right shoulder with
the Anchor, whispering the word “Unity” to
each as he does so.)
(When completed, D. D. gives X One
rap.)
•W. – Candidates be seated.

G.K. – In time you will come to
know more of what we are. When
Catholics were a despised and
persecuted minority in this country,
we Knights of Columbus banded
together and marched in the streets
publicly proclaiming our Faith.

G.K. – At a time when doors
were closed and jobs were
scarce, we joined hands to
help one another so that the
Truth might survive.

G.K. – At a time when Catholics
in growing numbers rely only
upon their own conscience, we
speak out for the authority of the
Pope, the Bishops and Priests.

G.K. – At times when people
by the millions are convinced
that legalized abortion is
civilized and humane, we cry
out that it is a sin and a crime
against life.

G.K. – At a time when it is the
easy and popular thing to be
against the establishment that
rules our government, we
broadcast our love for our
country and for the system that
guarantees its continuing.

G.K. – At a times when men
prefer to walk alone and
uninvolved, we lock our arms
and proclaim that we are a
proud brotherhood in the Holy,
Catholic Church.

G.K. – It is easier not to be a Knight.
It is easier not to take up another
Cross. But we Knights are sinners and
we have been carrying one Cross or
another for years. You are not yet the
Apostles of Christ that you should be.
Neither are we. But there is work to
be done in the name of Christ.

G.K. – Do you have the heart and
vision to join us in a symbol? The
symbol is large enough to hold a
crucified man, but not so large that a
man cannot carry it. Will you join us?
•W. – Candidates answer: Yes or no.
•(Pause as candidates answer.)
•(D. D. gives X X X X Four raps.)

W. – Candidates, kneel.
( At this point, the Crossbearer takes the Cross and places
it in the stand in front of the prepared table. The
Crossbearer and Cyrenean return to their places.)
(Lights are lowered even further, and accent light is put on
Cross.)
(Recorded voice is to be played, or else background music
with the G. K. delivering the following in a clear, dramatic
voice.)

G.K. – My brothers, behold this
symbol of man’s redemption– it
is the Cross– through which
your destiny was made sacred. It
is the symbol of the light of
Divine Intelligence over the
darkness of the world.

G.K. – It is the Cross. . . That
soaked up the Blood of the
God-man Who was crucified
for your sins and mine.

G.K. – It is the Cross of
courage, charity, and brotherly
love. . . There has never in all
the history of the world been
another like it.

G.K. – It is the Cross for which
our Holy Mother Church was
crimsoned with the precious
blood of her martyrs. . . The
millions of them . ..men, women,
and children who knew a love
that surpassed all understanding .

G.K. – A love that made it a joy
for them to take up Christ’s
Cross on their own shoulders
and declare to all world, “I am
Christ’s Brother . . . I bear His
Name . . . I shall bear His
Cross!”

G.K. – To be a Knight is to take
up the Cross of Christ . . . To
stand before an unbelieving
world and declare: “My
shoulders are broad enough, my
mind clear enough, my heart
humble enough

G.K. – to know I am a sinner
who is called to be another
Christ among men. It is my
destiny . . . And whatever the
sacrifice, it is my glory.”

G.K. – You wish to be Knights of
Columbus! The men who are already
Knights have been the Simons of
Cyrene in our time. If you wish to join
them, then you must give us a sign, a
sign that you know whose Cross it is
that we bear—a sign that you are
willing to take upon your own
shoulders, and now.

G.K. – Candidates. Is your sign
the Cross of the Crucified Christ?
W. – Candidates, answer yes or
no, loudly and clearly.
(Candidates answer: “Yes, it is.”) (Lights come up to
previous brightness. Accent light on cross is turned off.
D. D. gives X X X Three raps. All stand.)

G. K. – (In front of Cross and holds up the
Anchor) Worthy candidates, you have been
invested with this Anchor, the emblem of this
degree and the eternal symbol of hope! Now,
you have promised to take up the Cross of
Christ. You declared that your shoulders
were broad enough to bear the Cross of
Christ. This cross, accompanied Christ on
his journey to Calvary.
(Gesturing to the wooden ceremonial cross.)

G. K. – It is my distinct pleasure to
present to you, your crucifix to
accompany you on your journey, to
remind you of Christ’s sacrifice “upon
the Cross for us,” that binds unity of
spirit, and provides forgiveness,
atonement of sin, and salvation for
mankind.
(G.K. holds up Carolingian Crucifix.)
(Music cue-begin music softly for crucifix presentation.)

•G. K. – Your crucifix; is a replica of
the one hanging in St. Mary’s
Church and serves an additional link
for you to our founder. The top of
the cross features Christ the King.
The right arm of the cross depicts the
Sorrowful Mother while the left arm
features St. John the Evangelist.

G. K. – Beneath the foot support of
the cross are reliefs of Saints Peter
and Paul. May it ever serve as a
reminder of your promise to take up
your cross and follow Christ! As I
come before you, I ask that you place
your hands together as in prayer.
(G.K. demonstrates with the W.)

G. K. – As I will come before you, open them
to our Lord, and I will place your crucifix in
your uplifted hands. I ask you to contemplate
upon your crucifix which has been blessed by
our Supreme Chaplain, Archbishop William
E. Lori.
(G.K. with the assistance of the D.D. presents to each
candidate his crucifix.)
(Music cue-Music slowly fades out after presentation is
completed.)
(At conclusion, D.D. gives X rap)

•G. K. – (In front of Cross addresses the D.D.)
Worthy D. D., I have invested these
candidates with the Anchor, the symbol of
hope, the emblem of this degree. They have
promised to take up the Cross of Christ and
have been invested with their personal
crucifix emblematic of their unity with
Christ. I ask you to advance them further in
our honored Order. (G. K. salutes D. D.)

D.D. – (Addresses candidates from in front
of Cross). Worthy candidates, please
place your crucifix in your pocket.
Remember well the lesson of this
Formation Ceremonial and remember
always, that your formation never ends.
Unity of purpose and of action give
strength to the humblest.

D.D. – In a righteous cause, loyal
and obedient to our chosen officers,
our union will bring assured
success. Unite for our Order, for our
Country, for our Holy Mother
Church, and the dreams of
yesterday shall be the realities of
tomorrow.

D.D. – And now, worthy
candidates, by the authority
vested in me by the Supreme
Council, I declare you members
of the Knights of Columbus,
Second Degree.

•D.D – My Brother Knights, this phase
of your journey draws to a close, and
but one more intervenes before you
shall reach the goal of your desires, full
Knighthood in our honored Order. In the
Admission Degree, you were introduced
to our Order’s permanent watchword,
“Tempus Fugit Memento Mori,” –
“Time Flies, Remember Death.”

D.D – Since you have been taught
the lesson of unity, I will now
disclose your passport to
Knighthood; which is a fraternal
greeting used between Knights. A
handshake is given, while the
words “Vivat Jesus” are
exchanged.

D.D – The word mean: “May Jesus
Live,” the motto of our former
Supreme Chaplain, Bishop Charles
P. Greco. I ask all here, to stand and
turn to the man on his right and on
his left, shake his hand, and greet
him by saying, “Vivat Jesus.” Each
will respond “Vivat Jesus”.
(D. D. demonstrate to his right and to his left. At same time W’s aides begin with newly
advanced members.)
(At the same time the Gs. hand out the Crucifix Prayer Cards and bag for the cross.)

•D.D. – The F. S. will present
you with the current
membership card of the Second
Degree which the Worthy W.
will immediately inspect.
(They proceed to do so.)

D. D. – Continue to form yourself
in the knowledge of our Holy
Religion and the laws and rules of
the Order. Let it always be known
that you are an informed Catholic,
a true Knight united with your
brothers in defense of our Faith.

D. D. – My Brother Knights, you have
reached the end of the formation stage
of your journey. At the earliest
opportunity, present yourself for the
conferral of the Knighthood Degree.
Vivat Jesus!
(Lights are turned up. The D.D. leads the officers and
members in applauding the candidates. At this point,
candidates are introduced to the members. At this time, the
degree officers may be introduced. When completed the
D.D. continues to close the ceremonial.

D.D. – (X X X X Four raps. The
Chaplain (if available) or D.D. closes
with prayer on the prayer card.)
O God of life and love, you so
loved the world that you sent us
your only Son to suffer, die, and
rise for us and for our salvation.

D.D. – Fill us with the grace of
Holy Spirit that we might open our
hearts more widely to our Savior,
Jesus Christ. May we daily
encounter Christ crucified with a
living faith and so come to know in
our lives the depth and power of his
love.

D.D. – In your goodness, allow us to
experience the Cross as the Tree of Life
as the source of a love that is stronger
than sin and more powerful that death.
Let us find in the Cross the strength to
rise above our sins and to be confirmed
in virtue so that we may live our
vocations faithfully and accomplish our
work with integrity.

D.D. – Unite us, Lord, in the
fraternity of the Knights of
Columbus in bearing witness to
Christ serving the needs of
others in charity and by keeping
the commandments in the spirit
of the Beatitudes.

•D.D. – Form in us ever more
clearly the image of your divine
Son, crucified and risen, that you
may see and love in us what you
see and love in Christ. We make
our prayer through the same
Christ our Lord. Amen.

D.D. – (X X X Three raps. All sing the Closing
Ode. At conclusion D. D. continues.)
I declare this
exemplification of the
Formation Degree
officially closed. (X One rap.)
