At the initial stage it enables initiates to discern what ROF is all about and what will eventually be expected of them; and by the time each ceremony is concluded, the principles and tenets of the order are thoroughly impressed upon the minds of candidates.

There is nothing dreadful in ROF to justify the posture of a secret society attached to it by our critics and detractors. In the beginning and until very recently, the ROF overprotected its privacy to the extent that members could not talk to the media to correct public's innuendos and misconceptions of the order, hence the continuous but unfortunate perception of what the ROF is and what it stands for. Today members have been encouraged to talk about the fraternity to their families, colleagues and friends.

The 85th anniversary of the founding of the ROF in Dec 1999 served a very good opportunity for it to be interviewed many times on radio, television and the print media to explain clearly to the world what ROF is and what the members do.

The idea was to get the world to know in the main that ROF was established to associate for the promotion of the principle of the Universal Fatherhood of God and the Universal Brotherhood of man on the one hand; and on the other hand to encourage the diffusion of the practice of benevolence, charity and chastity.
