Description
What is the Holy Name Society?
The Holy Name Society is the popular or common name for the Confraternity of the most Holy Names of God and Jesus. It can also be referred to as the Society of the Holy Name. It is a confraternity of the Catholic Church with Canonical ties to the Dominican Order. The Holy Name Society is committed to teaching, spreading, and defending the Faith of Christ.
What exactly is a Confraternity?
Confraternities (Latin confratria or confraternitas) are voluntary associations of Catholic lay people and clerics that exist for the promotion of special religious devotions, acts of piety and spiritual and corporal works of mercy. The main reason confraternities exist is for the personal sanctification of their members. It is through their spiritual activities and works of mercy that members in confraternities obtain the special graces and indulgences necessary to attain their salvation.
How does the Church formally recognize Confraternities?
The Church recognizes confraternities as Public Association’s of Christ’s Faithful and their organization and governance are defined under Canon Law.
