". . Blessed John of Verceli, founder of the Holy Name Society pray for us ! "
700 Year Old Catholic Organization
Devotion to the Holy Name goes back to the Old Testament where you find reverence for the Name of God in the second Commandment. The beginning of the Holy Name Society can be traced back to the l3th Century. Pope Gregory 10th in 1274 commissioned the Dominican Order to concentrate its efforts on preaching greater devotion to the Holy Name. For 7 centuries, men have come together to grow spiritually. Certainly, joining the Holy Name Society can deepen a man's faith. We have a Spiritual Director and you can socialize with other Catholic men. Today, Holy Name members serve many parish missions; Parish Council, Religious Ed., St. Vincent de Paul Eucharistic Ministers, Alter,Servers, Ushers, Lectors, Choir, Boy Scouts, Silver Threads, Youth Group, R.C.I.A., Children's Liturgy of the Word, Parish Festival, Holy Thursday Rosary Pilgrimage, CDT School Parrish Maintenance, and many more parish needs. Yet the primary purpose of this thriving local Holy Name Society is to promote love honor, and respect to the MOST HOLY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST If you would like more information about the Holy Name Society of Holy Family Parish, or are interested in joining, please contact any member of the HNS, one of the officers, or you can email me. |
