 Installation Ceremonies
After the hymn, Come Holy Ghost, the priest goes sanctuary and faces the
officers to be installed. They are standing before the Blessed Sacrament.
Priest : My friends, you are gathered here in the
Sanctuary of our Lord and Master, Jesus
Christ, to assume the responsibility of
guiding and leading your fellow
members of the Knights & Maidens of
the Blessed Sacrament. In you will rest
the destiny of the regiment. So, try your
best to accomplish the task entrusted to
your care.
Priest : To the KNIGHT COMMANDER, He
goes to the highest step, yours is the task to
lead the whole Regiment for the greater
leadership and I give you this sword, for
courage. The plume of the beret should
remind you of a pure and unblemished
life that you must live. The blue color of
your beret stands for your loyalty to
Christ and His priests. Wear them with
honor and dignity.
Priest : To the MASTER OF NEOPHYTES,
He stands a little off behind the Knight
Commander so as to give place to the Scribe
and the Bursar, yours is the task of training
your brothers, keeping ever watchful that
they must remain loyal to the ideals of a
true Knight of Jesus Christ in the Blessed
Sacrament. Receive this badge as a sign
of the tremendous task upon your frail
shoulders. Patience, diligence and
humility should be your outstanding
 virtues.
Priest : To the MASTER SCRIBE, He stands
directly on the left side of the Master of
Neophytes, to you my friend, we entrust
the right and faithful rendering of the
activities of the regiment. It is but fitting
that you cultivate the virtues of
obedience, perseverance and efficiency
which are badly needed in your task.
May you ever be like your Guardian
Angel, ever watchful, ever solicitous,
and ever faithful in recording the good
and evil deeds of your brothers. Work in
the peace of Lord. We give you this book
of records as a symbol of your office, the
plume for recording.
Priest : To the MASTER BURSAR, stands on
the right side of the Master of Neophytes, we
entrust to you the temporal possession of
our Order. Take good care that you
imitate not Judas who turned away from
Jesus because of greed and avarice but
John the faithful disciple. Bear in mind
you are just the caretaker and not the
owner of the material goods of the order.
Keep accurate and couple accounts of the
goods of the Order.
Priest : To the FOUR COUNSELORS FOR
KNIGHTS AND FOUR
COUNSELORS FOR MAIDENS, all
stand behind the three petty officers just
installed, to your care is entrusted the
wise decision and prudent counsel of the
knighthood. Be vigilant for the good of
the order. Be frank in tackling problems

 and situation for trust is our best defense
and guide. But most of all be sincere and
holy for the good of our little
community. Receive this red-yellow
cape the symbol of your office. Their
colors recall wisdom, sincerity, maturity
of judgement and prudence.

consultant of the Director/Knight
Commander on the general tenor and
individual behavior of the maidens.

between the superiors and the members.
Be sure that all orders, notices, and the

 likes are relayed correctly, efficiently to
the persons concerned. Be tactful and
polite, humble and reliable for without
you the Order cannot function smoothly.
Priest : To all the members, gathered here, take
cognizance of this ceremony. Cooperate
with your officers for God and Country.
All Officers : With the grace of God, we will try our
very best.
Priest : Master Flag Bearer please bring here the
flag.

During the procession of the Flag the Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam is sung,
upon reaching the front the flag is lowered, and front liners hold it with
their left hands. Their right hands raised for swearing. The recitation of the
Knights Pledge follows and the kissing of the Flag.
Lay Apostolate : Raise your right hand and let’s recite the
Director Knights & Maidens of the Blessed
Sacrament Pledge in unison.
Lord Jesus Christ,
Prisoner of divine love in the Blessed
Sacrament, my King and my Master,
behold, I am kneeling before your Divine
Majesty, imploring your divine grace, so
that I may be able to commit myself,
totally and wholeheartedly, to the ideals
and aims of the Knights & Maidens of
the Blessed Sacrament. I promise on my
word of honor to study and obey its rules
and regulations and to be faithful to you
‘til my dying day. Further do I pledge
myself to defend your Holy Catholic
Church, your Blessed Sacrament and
your Priest. I will honor Mary, your
mother, the patroness of every loyal

 knight and maiden and finally I bind
myself to your Church which you have
founded
on the rock of Peter so that I may find
peace and happiness now and forever,
Amen.

If done outside the mass say these words. Everybody shall stand and the
priest with hands extended over the Assembly and says immediately:
Priest : The Lord be with you.
Everybody : And with your Spirit.
Priest : May Almighty God Bless You X the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Everybody : Amen.
