The Order of the Fourth Degree was established in
1900 for members to publicly acknowledge their willingness and
commitment to protect the church and priesthood, defend the faith,
and stand up against bigotry. The ceremonial sword is worn in church
to show reverence for the Eucharist and respect for the bishop or
hierarchy. In some liturgies the sword is raised at the
“Consecration” or the “Great Amen” in a salute of reverence,
love, praise and honor to Christ our Divine King. The presence of
the sword adds to the beauty and pageantry of our liturgies.
