Charity. Unity. Fraternity. Patriotism.

Deacon Donald F. Hanika Council 8476

Each of the four Degrees is designed to correspond and demonstrate one of the four principles of the Order: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. Each Degree has it's own installation ceremony at which the core principle of the Degree is conferred upon the Knights seeking advancement in their local Council.


The 3rd degree congregation works to bring the first 3 principles of Charity, Unity and Fraternity to those within the parish and community.

Assembly 3223

The Fourth Degree is frequently regarded as an honorary title with it’s regalia of tuxedos, capes, chapeaux and swords but should rather be thought of in terms of service to church and country, and the goals of the Fourth Degree may be summarised as the promotion of the ideals of Catholicism and Patriotism side by side.

Council 8476

Originally chartered on December 15, 1983, 16 of the original 36 charter members  are still around today. The idea to form our Council came from Father William Treacy not long after the founding of the Parish.


The Council's name was officially changed after the passing of Deacon Donald F. Hanika on July 17, 2012.
