Who Can Join

Membership in the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary is open to all the baptized Catholic lay faithful as well as to priests and religious.

Membership in the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary requires registration, which can be done online. Once registered, you will be officially enrolled in the Confraternity. There are no meetings or membership dues.
To be enrolled one must allow their names to be written in the register of the Confraternity and voluntarily undertake the obligations of membership in a spirit of genuine devotion.

Responsibilities

As a member of the Confraternity, you are commissioned to offer at least fifteen mysteries of the Holy Rosary every week. You may offer these fifteen mysteries of the Rosary altogether or separately in three groups of five mysteries. You are also free to offer more mysteries daily as the Holy Spirit moves you through the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary.

As a member, you promise to pray for all the Confraternity members every time you offer a Rosary to Our Lady. This is your only requirement as a member of the Confraternity, but the hope and prayer is that you will fulfill this requirement because of your faithful love for the Blessed Mother who directs all her children to her Son, Jesus Christ, through the Rosary. This commission to pray at least fifteen mysteries of the Rosary for all the members of the Confraternity does not bind under sin.

Join the worldwide spiritual association dedicated to praying the Rosary for the salvation of souls and the intentions of its members.

As a Member

As a member, you are the beneficiary of the prayers of all the members of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, even after death.

You also receive the fruits of the prayers, Masses, and apostolic ministries of the Order of Preachers.
Moreover, various plenary and partial indulgences are made available to you. On the one hand, you receive a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions on the day of your enrollment (as indicated in the register and certificate), on the Feast Days of Christmas, Easter, the Annunciation, the Assumption, Our Lady of the Rosary, the Immaculate Conception, and Our Lord’s Presentation in the Temple. On the other hand, you also receive a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions by praying the Rosary in a Church or oratory, in a family, religious community, or in a pious association of the faithful. If not, the indulgence is only partial.

and together we behold the rosary as our beacon light in our Pilgrimage of HOPE.

Confraternity of the Holy Rosary PRAYER

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and Mother of us all, we come to you for help in our sorrows, trials and necessities. Sin leaves us weak and helpless but Divine Grace heals and strengthens.
We ask for the grace to love Jesus as you loved Him, to believe as you believed, to hope as you hoped; we ask to share your purity of mind and heart. Give us true sorrow for sin and make us love people as you and Jesus loved them. Obtain for us the gifts of the Holy Spirit that we may be wise with your wisdom, understand with your understanding, know with your knowledge, be prudent with your prudence, be patient with your patience, be courageous with your fortitude and desire justice ardently for everyone with the all consuming desire of the Sacred Heart of Jesus your Son.
Open our minds that as we pray the Rosary we will understand the teachings of the Gospel contained in its mysteries.
We pray especially for the members of the Rosary Confraternity whom we love. Help them wherever they may be; guide them, watch over them and make them strong in their trials and suffering. We are drawn together by a common bond of great charity for you and for each other; keep us faithful to your Son and to your Rosary until death.
Intercede for the souls in Purgatory, especially for the members of the Rosary Confraternity who have died. May they rest in peace. Finally we ask for grace of final perseverance for ourselves and for our loved ones that we may all be reunited in heaven forever.
Saint Dominic, you who received so much Grace and Strength from the Rosary, pray for us. +
