National Association of the
Holy Name Society
Holy Name Society: A Personal Call to Holiness
The Holy Name Society is committed to helping its members grow in
holiness through devotion to the most Holy Name of Jesus. Members of
this fraternity are called to be leaders, to cleanse themselves in
the sacrament of penance, strengthen themselves with the most Holy
Eucharist, nourish their souls on Sacred Scripture, increase their
desire for divine love through prayer, and lead their families,
friends, and coworkers to Christ Jesus by their acts of charity and
piety.
If you are a Catholic over the age of 18, please consider joining
the Holy Name Society – join your prayers with others so that the
Most Holy Name of Jesus can be venerated – our prayers will be
heard!
