DeMolay Open Ceremonies

Monitor of Ceremonies, Corrected Sixth Edition, 2007

DeMolay has ceremonies to mark many important occasions and events. Now you can view and print DeMolay's official open ceremonies as approved by DeMolay's Ritual and Regalia Committee. This is the Corrected Sixth Edition, 2007, of the Monitor of Ceremonies. These documents no longer contain repetitive copies of the General Instructions. Rather, you must download that document once, and it will be your reference for all of them. New to this version is a ceremony-specific glossary for each individual ceremony.
