RITUALS

In its ongoing efforts to encourage activities within the various levels of the Order, the General Executive Council, at its meeting of March 17, 1995, approved five rituals to be used by the Order.
Organizational rituals are something that had long been missing from the life of the MOS&B . Now that they are available for us, it is the hope of the General Executive Council that they will become a used and useful part of programs and events within the Order.
