Holy Name Society
 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
objectives of The Holy Name Society have been established as:
-
To
honor the Names of God and of Jesus Christ by the example of a
strictly Catholic life.
-
To
spread devotion and increase love for the Sacred Name of Jesus.
-
To
suppress blasphemy, profane and indecent language.
-
To
prevent false oaths, in and out of court.
-
To
impart to Catholic men courage in the profession of their faith.
 At
Our Lady of Lourdes Parish our branch is sometimes referred to as the
Men's Club. We are heavily involved in the activities of our
parish with a strong emphasis on fund raising.
We
contribute to religious education at Lourdes and we have volunteered
our time as well as our money for this cause.
Our members are
also involved with the parish council, the school board, and
other organizations in our parish; they are Eucharistic ministers,
Ushers, Lectors, etc.
Our
meetings are on the first Monday at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. We
invite all men of the parish to attend one of our meetings and to
become involved. There are no dues, we ask only that you
participate.
