Investiture Ceremony

The annual Investiture ceremony formally welcomes approved applicants (Postulants) into the Order. During this sacred Convent and Investiture (C&I) ceremony, Postulants receive the accolade (dubbing) and become Knights or Dames. The C&I serves as a solemn rededication and spiritual renewal, marking your official entry into the Priory of the Christian Shield.
