KNIGHTS OF RIZAL

 The Knights of Rizal Manual is an answer to the felt need to sis ternatize and rationalize the rules and policies of the organization to put “order” so to speak in its objectives and operations.

We have thus put together in this manual a brief history of the Knights of Rizal, the governing charter of the Order, its Code of By Laws, rules, policies, directives and accepted practices including. forms and rituals observed in Knighthood Ceremonies in the hope that this Manual will provide direction and serve the needs of the members of the Order for a meaningful service to our country and fellow men in the Rizalian way.

This Manual would not have been made possible without the active support and cooperation of the members of the Supreme Council and the clerical Staff of the Order. We are aware that a Manual such as this cannot be inflexible and may need updating at some future time but we are happy in the thought that after 76 years of existence of the Order we have made a beginning and added a 46 stone” to the Rizalian edifice as our humble contribution to all those who believe in the ideas and ideals of Rizal.
