COUNCIL HISTORY
Archbishop Seghers Council 5011 was formed on August 20, 1960 at Immaculate
Conception Church. The first member to sign the constitutional roll
was the Bishop of the Fairbanks Diocese: Most Reverend Francis D. Gleason

The Council thrived until a sudden decline in interest and eventual
inactivation in 1972.
Council 5011 was reactivated in May 1984 and has continued to grow
since that time.
The Council records prior to reactivation have not been recovered.
A history of officers and projects from 1960 to 1972 is not available.

WHO CAN BECOME A KNIGHT
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practical Catholic
men in union with the Holy See, who shall not be less than 18 years of
age on their last birthday. A practical Catholic is one who lives up to
the Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. Application blanks
are available from any member of the Knights of Columbus. Every knight
is happy to propose eligible Catholic men for consideration as members.
Acceptance of the applicant depends upon a vote of the members of
the subordinate council in which he is making application.
All priests and religious brothers having duly made application for
membership and participated in the ceremonials become honorary life members
of the Order and are exempt from payment of dues.
Application for membership must be made through the council in the
community nearest the applicant's place of residence. Interested prospects
without a permanent domicile, such as men temporarily away from home through
duty in the armed forces, may make application through their hometown council
or at the nearest council on a military base.
If favorably voted upon, the applicant becomes a member by initiation
known as the First Degree. He subsequently is advanced through the Second
Degree and the Third Degree.
There are modest initiation fees and dues set by subordinate councils
under regulations established by the Supreme Council. The insurance privileges
are available to all members who can qualify, which represents an important
advantage of membership. For men in every walk of life the name Knights
of Columbus engenders the image of a united organization, efficiently going
about it tasks of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism and defense of
the priesthood. It is composed of men who are giving unselfishly of their
time and talents in service of God and their country.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus provides opportunity for wholesome
association with congenial companions who are, first of all, practical
Catholic gentlemen. It offers the opportunity for fellowship with those
who are of the same belief, who recognize the same duty to God, to family
and to neighbor and who stand side by side in defense of those beliefs.
Programs are so organized as to appeal to the individual interest of the
members. Through many constructive activities of Christian fraternity,
members are enabled to render service to their Church, their country and
their fellowman. Through membership they develop a consciousness of their
ability to lead and to assist.
Organized Columbianism, united behind the individual Knight of Columbus,
provides the power of an intelligent, alert body of Catholic men--a strength
which the individual by himself cannot achieve.
Knights of Columbus has a proud heritage. The qualified Catholic
man can share in that heritage and build an even greater future by affiliating
himself with this forceful, effective body.
The Patriotic Degree
Another degree open to members of the Knights of Columbus is that of
the Fourth (or Patriotic) Degree. On February 22, 1900, the first exemplification
of that degree was held in New York City. The ritual added patriotism to
the three original principles of the Order: charit, unity and fraternity.
Any Third Degree member in good standing, one year after the anniversary
of his First Degree, is eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree.
The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit
of partiotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and loyalty
to the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local
Fourth Degree groups called assemblies. Fourth Degree members must retain
their membership as Third Degree members in the local council to remain
in good standing.
Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve as honor guards at civic
and religious functions, an activity which has brought worldwide recognition
to the Knights of Columbus organization.
