| JDML 305's First Degree Conferral |
|
|
|
 Yesterday, May 10, 2008, Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge 305, conferred the first degree of Masonry upon two Senior DeMolays, Bro. Ramon Adrian B. Bernal and Bro. Ferdinand John M. Gaerlan. Both are Past Master Councilors (PMC) of their respective DeMolay Chapters. Bro. Ramon "Berns" Bernal is a PMC of Bicol Chapter, Order of DeMolay and Bro. Ferdie Gaerlan, a PMC and a Blue Honor Key (BHK) awardee, of University Chapter, Order of DeMolay in MSU, Marawi City. Bro. Cris M. Gaerlan, incumbent Secretary of the Lodge, a PMC himself and younger brother of Bro. Ferdie Gaerlan, acted as the Conferral Worshipful Master. Yesterday's initiation follows yet another seemingly emerging JDML 305 tradition - that of having a candidate initiated into the craft by his own blood brother or kin. The precedence was set when the current Junior Warden of the Lodge, Bro. Ariel Gumabon, acted as the Conferral Worshipful Master when his younger brother, Bro. Neil Gumabon, was initiated as Entered Apprentice Mason. Hopefully there will be more conferrals of this kind in the future. Worshipful Master, Jonathan D.C. Cuezon, congratulated the Brethren for a job well done and also thanked VW Gigi Ancajas, who served as ritual director for this particular conferral. After the conferral, a fraternal fellowship followed at the usual JDML 305's rendezvous at the Mariner's Hotel. The newly obligated Brethren, EAM's Ramon Bernal and Ferdie Gaerlan were made aware of the JDML 305 tradition on proficiency. They are required to commit to memory not only the catechism and obligation of the first degree but also its full lecture, including the lectures on the lambskin apron and the working tools, before passing to the Fellow Craft degree. Congratulations, Bro. Berns and Bro. Ferdie, and Good Luck on your journey! |
