1. Please contact our Faithful Admiral, Shawn Reichhardt at 832-865-9485 or [email protected] .
2. You will need a Form 4 that is filled out and needs the signature of the Financial Secretary of your council. If you have a sponsor please have them sign it as well. If you do not have a sponsor then one of our officers will be more than happy to sponsor.
3. You will then be interviewed by our officers on a designated date/time.
4. Your final step will be to attend and complete the 4th Degree Exemplification. These are held at different times during the year usually in the spring and fall at one of the churches in or around the Houston area. You may also attend an exemplification outside the area as well, you just need to complete the steps above and coordinate your registration with the host Assembly. (We recommend highly you purchase the sword package)
5. Once you have become a Sir Knight you can attend our next monthly business meeting to receive your certificate and official Assembly welcome.
6. At this time we hope you will complete your 4th Degree by purchasing the approved uniform.
