• 4th Degree members of the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard no longer wear a Cape and Plumed Chapeau. The new uniform is a Jacket and Baret. The sword and baldric are still part of the regalia. 
• There are no longer secret First, Second and Third degree ceremonies. They are being replaced by a single Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity. The preferred location is in a church or chapel with opening and closing prayers said by a priest or deacon. Family and friends, including children are encouraged to attend the ceremony. If held following a scheduled mass members of the congregation are welcome to remain for the ceremony.
• Online Members can participate in the Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity and then transfer into a council of their choice or remain in the Online Division (Council).
