Msgr. Schulte Assembly was commissioned on January 26, 1965. 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 Deacon William Dorsey Council. 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, 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.
