The Confraternity of the Holy Rosary is an international association of the Catholic faithful established to praise and honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and to secure her patronage by the recitation of the Rosary for the mutual spiritual benefit of all the members throughout the world.
The Confraternity of the Holy Rosary is an ancient apostolate of the Order of Preachers that has led countless people to repentance and maturation in Christ for centuries through the maternal intercession of His Blessed Mother, Our Lady of the Rosary.
Under the care of the Dominican Order, the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary has Provincial Promoters in countries where the Order of Preachers is present. In the Philippines – and also in Indonesia and Sri Lanka – the promotion of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary is attended to by the Dominican Province of the Philippines to spread awareness to the richness and power of the Holy Rosary. The Provincial Promoters encourage devotees to sign-up for membership in the Confraternity.
The members of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary strive to pray the complete Rosary (it used to be 15 decades, but with the addition of the luminous mysteries, the inclusion of 5 more is recommended) once a week.
The members, who, along with their own intentions, pray for the intentions and needs of all the Confraternity’s members. St John Vianney said, “If anyone has the happiness of being in the Confraternity of the Rosary, he has in all corners of the world brothers and sisters who pray for him.”

Our Journey and Mission
According to tradition, Saint Dominic received the rosary from Mary in the 13th century. The rosary has, since then, become a part of the identity of every Dominican.
The Confraternity of the Holy Rosary was founded by Blessed Alan de la Roche in 1468 and helped it flourish when he preached about the rosary and spread its devotion in France, Flanders and Netherlands.
Today, the Order of Preachers are the foremost promoters of the rosary worldwide. The Dominicans continue their mission to preach the mysteries of the Holy Rosary and inspire people to pray the rosary devotedly.
Devotees of the rosary are encouraged to enroll as members into the Confraternity. Their membership will benefit them the intercession and special protection of Mary – Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. Their membership will merit for them a share in the prayers and good works of countless rosaries prayed by the Rosary Confraternity members throughout the world and in heaven.
