CONFRATERNITY
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
This Confraternity was founded in the 19th century to promote
devotion to the Holy Spirit, 'the forgotten Paraclete' to help
people to realise His powerful presence in them and to act under
the influence of His holy inspiritation.
To develop
this devotion the following practices are recommended:
1. To pray
daily to the Holy Spirit;
2. To wear
the badge of the Holy Spirit;
3. To help
spread the work of the Confraternity by enrolling others, and
by donations to the Confraternity;
4. To consecrate
the first Monday of each month to honouring the Holy Spirit
in some special way, and to make with fervour the Novena for
Pentecost;
5. To read
about the Holy Spirit and His work in the Church;
6. To ask
Mary, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, for the grace to have a
true devotion to him.
Indulgences
may be gained on the day of enrolment and on other occasions
throughout the year.
CONFRATERNITY
OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY REFUGE OF SINNERS
When we
join this Confraternity we place ourselves under the special
protection of Our Blessed Mother. She said to the children of
Fatima: "God wishes to establish in the world devotion
to my Immaculate Heart".
We honour
the Immaculate Heart of Mary by:
1. Imitating
the virtues centred in her heart.
2. Reading
and meditating about Mary, and praying to her, especially the
Rosary;
3. Mass
and Holy Communion on the five first Saturdays;
4. Observing
her Feastdays throughout the year;
5. Having
her picture or statue in our homes;
6. Consecrating
ourselves and our families to her Immaculate Heart.
We gain
many indulgences from the treasury of the Church including a
pleanary indulgence on the day of enrolment.
Help to
bring others to Mary's Immaculate Heart that she may bring them
close to her Son, Jesus.
