Holy Name Society |
|
The Holy Name Society owes its origin to Pope Gregory
X in the year 1274, which commanded the newly founded Dominican Order to
inculcate greater devotion to the holy names of God and Jesus Christ. Today, members of St. Clement of Rome Holy Name Society celebrate Mass together the second Sunday of each month at the 8 a.m. service. The Holy Name Pledge is recited prior to commencement of the celebration. At the conclusion of Mass the recessional Hymn "Holy God We Praise Thy Name" is sung by the congregation. Customarily members gather together after Mass for a brief meeting at the Parish Center where coffee and donuts are served in the spirit of community. Both men and women of the St. Clement Parish are invited to join the society. |
