Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.

Monsignor Schulte Assembly

The Color Guard and Unborn Monument Fourth Degree of the Knights of Columbus
Msgr. Schulte Assembly was commissioned on January 26, 1965 and is the largest Assembly in the State of Michigan. All members of the Fourth Degree must first be a member in good standing in a Third Degree Council. Our membership is drawn from (4) neighboring councils; Fr. Patrick O'Kelley Council (Dearborn), Bishop Foley Council (Dearborn) All Saints Council (Taylor), and St. Anne Rodriquez Council (Detroit). Our namesake, Msgr. Schulte, is a former Pastor of St. Alphonsus Church in Dearborn. He served as an Army Chaplin and State Chaplin of the American Legion and of the Knights of Columbus.

The Fourth Degree is the highest degree in the order. The principle order is patriotism which is exemplified by our Color Corps. The Color Corps is probably the most outwardly visible sign of the Knights of Columbus. They serve as honor Guards at many Civic, Religious and Fraternal Functions. They serve at the Installation of Council and Assembly Officers, all Council Corporate Communications, Holy Thursday Adoration, lead the council at the Memorial Day Parade, and stand Honor Guard for the deceased Fourth Degree Sir Knights. The Msgr. Schulte Assembly Home Council is Fr. Patrick O'Kelley where approximately 70% of our membership is derived.
