Catholic Confraternities "holy Name Society"

[Guest bchriste]

To all brothers in Christ,

The Confraternity of the Most Holy Names of God and Jesus (Holy Name Society) promotes reverence for the Sacred Names of God and Jesus Christ, obedience and loyalty to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, and the personal sanctification and holiness of its members. Members are called to contribute to the evangelization mission of the Church and to make perpetual acts of reverence and love for our Lord and Savior. The apostolate of the society is to assist in parish ministries by performing the Corporal Works of Mercy: to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, give drink to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless, tend the sick, visit those in prison, and bury the dead; as well as the Spiritual Works of Mercy: to convert sinners, instruct the ignorant, counsel the wayward, comfort the sorrowing, bear adversity patiently, forgive offenses, and pray for the living and the dead.

I recently went to a Scott Hahn conference and was inducted as a member in our Cathedral of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. It is a great blessing. This particular Holy Name Society meets once a month and goes over specific Catholic church documents and spiritual conferences.

Benedictus Nomen Sanctum Iesus!

bchriste,

from ur post, it seems like you already know what they are! but, maybe u are inquiring about confranternities in general, instead of that particular one. in which case, the following articles may help:

--Associations of the Faithful

--Small Faith Communities

actually, these may not be exactly what ur lookin for. if so, just let me know.

hope that helps........pax christi,
