Becoming a Guild Member
There is a special ceremony of enrolment into the Guild. During the ceremony the server makes a solemn promise and is presented with the Guild Medal, which is made of bronze and is worn around the neck, hanging from a red cord.
The medal means two things:
-
First, the parish priest, or local director of the Guild, has decided this particular server is eligible and worthy to be admitted to the Guild.
-
Second, the server accepts and wears the medal as a sign of commitment - commitment to server regularly: commitment to serve as well as possible. A commitment is a serious promise, and the server’s promise is made to God and the Church.
