This is a special Exemplification sanctioned by the Supreme Council to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the Fourth Degree. The new Fourth Degree Ceremonial was inaugurated on February 22, 2025, at St. Patrick’s Cathedral with some 650 candidates.
Our June 28th Degree is our contribution to Supreme’s “125 for 125” Degree initiative. Supreme’s goal is to have every District conduct a Fourth Degree Exemplification with 125 candidates. This is our goal, so please maximize your recruitment efforts for this special Exemplification! Our District Master has commissioned a special commemorative “Challenge Coin” which will be given to all candidates.
Please register through your assemblies to avoid duplicate registrations.
Please direct all questions to District Master Kelly J. Mortensen, PSD, at Master@vakofc.org, or at 804-651-3772, or District Secretary Isaias “Cy” Alba at Secretary@vakofc.org or at 571-215-1233.
