What is the Color Corps? The COLOR CORPS is the most visible arm of the Knights of Columbus. These are the men in the “funny” uniforms that march in parades and participate in funerals, wakes, and religious ceremonies. Membership: Membership in the COLOR CORPS is open to any member in good standing of the 4th Degree, as long as their Assembly has a COLOR CORPS. All members of the COLOR CORPS must be trained regularly and certified before they can take part in any functions. Once certified the men must be re-certified every two years to maintain their position in the COLOR CORPS. Organization of the Corps: The COLOR CORPS is made up of two parts the HONOR GUARD and the COLOR GUARD.The HONOR GUARD takes part in Civic and Religious functions; it is made up of all the members of the COLOR CORPS who have learned the Manual of the Sword. While the COLOR GUARD also caries out these duties, the Color Guard is responsible for caring and displaying the flags in parades and ceremonies. The Color Guard is drawn from members of the Honor Guard that have mastered the Manual of the sword. Commodore John Barry Assemblies Color Corps: Currently Commodore John Barry Assembly has a sizeable color corps. Since 1999, we have offered a "Regalia Fund" to help new members of our Assembly become active in the Color Corps. Through this plan we purchase all regalia, and a tuxedo. The individual brother then pays regular monthly payments to teh Assembly, interest free, until the debt is fully paid. Currently the Commodore John Barry Assembly Color Guard carries four flags: The United States Flag, the Vatican Flag, the State of Connecticut Flag, and the Flag of the Order.
