The Holy Name Society was formed in 1274 by Pope Gregory X who commissioned Blessed John of Vercelli, Master General of the Dominican Order, to preach devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus.
The confraternity of the Most Holy Names of God and Jesus (Holy Name Society) promotes reverence for the Sacred Names of God and Jesus Christ, obedience and loyalty to the Magisterium (the authority that lays down what is the authentic teaching of the Church) of the Catholic Church, and the personal sanctification and holiness of its members.
Our Lady of the Rosary’s Holy Name Society is a spiritual organization that works with the Pastor to help Our Lady of the Rosary Parish and work with the Ordinary in our Diocese in any way that we can.
