The District Master is proud to announce that Archangels Assembly 3877 of Louisville, Kentucky has been selected as Kentucky’s entry for the provincial To Be a Patriot competition.
The To Be a Patriot award recognizes the single best patriotic program conducted by a Fourth Degree assembly during the fraternal year. This year, seven Kentucky assemblies submitted entries, representing a wide range of creative and meaningful patriotic activities across the Commonwealth.
Archangels Assembly 3877’s Flag Retirement Program stood out for its originality, depth, and reach. What began as one Sir Knight’s desire to find a more environmentally responsible way to retire worn American flags has grown into a multi-parish initiative serving nine parishes across the Archdiocese of Louisville. The program operates in partnership with Ratterman and Sons Funeral Home and Scout Troop 765 of St. Michael Church, educates youth on flag history and proper handling, and has earned formal commendation from the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District. The assembly’s full submission, including photos and supporting documentation, is presented below.
Congratulations to Faithful Navigator Robert Nash and all the Sir Knights of Archangels Assembly 3877. You have set a remarkable example of what it means to live the Fourth Degree.
