Fidelity to the Catholic Church“No one can have God as Father who does not have the Church as Mother.” — St. Cyprian  Members of the Confraternity of the most Holy Names of God and Jesus - the Holy Name Society - believe that the Catholic Church - the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church - is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus Christ is the invisible Head of the Catholic Church and the Church is guided by the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth and the direct Successor of the Apostle Peter. We believe the Catholic Church is the mystical Body of Christ on earth and is protected by the promise of Jesus Christ to be guided by the Holy Spirit, protected from all error, and victorious over evil, as He says “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18). At the beginning of this Third Christian Millennium, the Holy Name Society is committed to the New Evangelization proclaimed by our Holy Father of blessed memory, Pope John Paul the Great, to take advantage of this “springtime” for the Church and the unprecedented opportunity we have to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our apostolate to spread devotion to the most Holy Name of Jesus is intended to give a tangible, visible witness to Christ and His Church. The Holy Name Society is committed to helping its members grow in holiness through devotion to the most Holy Name of Jesus. Men in this fraternity are called to be leaders and to follow the footsteps of St. Dominic and St. Bernardine of Siena and all the saints to strengthen themselves with the most Holy Eucharist, cleanse themselves in the sacrament of penance, nourish their souls on Sacred Scripture, increase their desire of divine love through prayer, and lead their families, friends, and coworkers by their acts of charity and piety. May the most Holy Name of Jesus Christ be praised, now and forever!
