The Society of the Holy Name, formally known as the Confraternity of the Most Holy Name of God and Jesus, is a Roman Catholic confraternity of the laity and is one of several which are under the care of the Dominican Order. It is open to all Catholic adults. The primary object of the society is to beget reverence for the Holy Name of God and Jesus Christ; it is also dedicated to making reparations, in particular, for blasphemy, perjury and immorality.“One of the strengths of the Holy Name Society is to witness the strengths of spiritual life, dedication to prayer and praying for the good of the Church and the spiritual life of the parish.”
Devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus begins with forming and then growing our personal relationship with him. This centers around knowing Jesus and who he is, and inviting him into our life.
Like a good friend, we grow in love by spending time with him. Sharing our hopes, dreams, struggles and difficulties. He walks with us through our daily journey.
