Membership

Erecting a Holy Name Society

Prior to inducting members into a parish Holy Name Society the Society must be properly chartered properly to the Dominican Order in the Dominican Province that has jurisdiction over the diocese the parish is located.

Induction Ceremony

To become a professed member of the Confraternity of the most Holy Name of God and Jesus (Holy Name Society) requires the candidate to make a public profession of faith. This is completed using a formal ceremony in front of a Church that is properly charted to the Dominican Order and the altar has been properly erected to the Confraternity of the most Holy Names of God and Jesus.
