An authentic guide for conferring the ceremonial in its proper form. The text of this ritual was prepared to assist Officers memorize their parts prior to conferring the ceremonial. It is not a substitute for the official Ceremonial Book permanently kept in the strongbox of Councils, which includes additional instruction irrelevant to this guide. However, the full ritual text is contained therein, and has been reviewed by several Officers to assure that it is verbally accurate. This book is the first part of what will eventually become a series on guide books for Knights of Columbus. It is the only authentic guide available, as other works claiming to give our ceremonial are spurious and grossly inaccurate.
