Holy Name Societies gather for annual Mass

Members of the Holy Name Society throughout the Archdiocese of Chicago gathered for their annual procession and Mass at Immaculate Conception Church, 7211 W Talcott Ave., on June 17, 2022. The Holy Name Society promotes reverence for the sacred names of God and Jesus Christ, obedience and loyalty to the Catholic Church, and the personal sanctification and holiness of its members. Members are called to contribute to the evangelization mission of the Church and to make perpetual acts of reverence and love for the Lord and Savior. The apostolate of the society is to assist in parish ministries by performing the corporal works of mercy. (Cynthia Flores-Mocarski/Chicago Catholic)
