TO: State Deputies, State Ceremonial Chairmen, District Deputies, Grand Knights

FROM: Thomas McCaffrey - Vice President, Fraternal Operations 

RE: Virtual Ceremonies for Installation of State Officers, District Deputies and Council Officers

DATE: July 1, 2020
The Knights of Columbus is pleased to release virtual ceremonies for the installation of council officers, state officers and district deputies. These ceremonies are authorized for immediate use where traditional physical ceremonies cannot be performed. Click on the attachments below to download copies of these ceremonies.

These new ceremonies retained key elements of the traditional ceremonies with appropriate modifications for digital venues. Installing Officers may make minor modifications to the script as needed for their jurisdictions and districts.

Installing Officers should make arrangement for the blessing and distribution of the Medals of Office. Newly installed officers should receive their medals as soon as possible in the new fraternal year.

Virtual installation ceremonies for Fourth Degree officers, along with French and Spanish translations of all installation ceremonies, are being prepared. They will be available soon.

Vivat Jesus!
