Dhe atmosphere was full of great anticipation and excitement with everyone resplendent in the mantels of St Stanislas. Our Master of Ceremony, Chevalier Herbert Class, called everyone to order. The Banner of the Malopolska Priory was carried by Chev. Wolfgang Gusel and the ceremonial sword carried by Chev. Marek Kramarski, the Grand Prior of Poland.

The solemn celebration of the Holy Mass took place with Parson Priest Dr. Adam Prorok, conducting together with Father Dr. Andrzej Majewski a wonderful mass. In his sermon, he spoke over the sense of honour, service to mankind, the contribution to conciliation and peace which underlines the essence of duty of a Companion of the Order of St. Stanislas. He ended the liturgy with his congratulations to the “new Knights and Ladies and those who have received new honours in the Order of the St. Stanislas".

 We showed him our special gratitude for his holy blessings and time-proven inspired words of eternal wisdom. He had spoken eloquently and extensively about the life, work and sacrifice of the Martyr Saint Stanislas, to the audience. Yet, they were inspired by the effect this Polish Saint had on the life of his people.

Die Investitur wurde durch die Hymne des Ordens begonnen durch unseren Konfrater, Daniel Baron von Lison, der dieses festliche Musikstück selbst komponiert hat.
