For many years the Holy Name Society has been a very vibrant Catholic society and it is still TODAY.
The Holy Name Society is a spiritual confraternity within the Catholic Church for lay people, religious, and clergy.
Its main mission is to promote devotion and reverence to the Holy Name of God and Jesus Christ His Son, to help members grow in holiness and obtain their personal salvation.
Its benefits are many, including growing in faith, spirituality, receiving graces and blessings, fellowship, and sharing in spiritual riches of the Catholic Church. Members become better Catholics, family members, neighbors, and citizens and practice the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
In the Gospel according to John, Jesus talks about how the Good Shepherd walks ahead of his sheep; leading them and caring for them. Unlike a hired hand, the shepherd feels a close bond to his sheep, to the point where he is willing to lay down his own life for them.
It is within this parable, that Jesus tells us that he Himself is the Good Shepherd and the One who loves us and lays down His life for us.
Holy Name men are asked to go out and work hard, and build a wonderful and loving relationship with families, relatives, friends and others. Members are also asked to protect God’s Holy Name and to show reverence to Him at all times.
It is with this in mind that Holy Name members are soldiers and followers of Jesus Christ, just as His disciples were. They went forward to bring many closer to Him through teachings and love.
This is our call, and it is a challenging one. Yet in the mist of this challenge, it is wonderful to know that Jesus is always with us, feeding us and helping us fulfill the call.
Become a member of this fine Catholic men’s society and help spread the word to young and old alike.
