Upon acceptance of your form, we will snail mail you a printed booklet created for members that contains guidelines and prayers. We will also email you a password so you can access the *Members Section* on the website. Most Confraternity Members use their given names, though some, such as hermits, use a name that they have chosen– you are welcome to do the same if you wish. We consider ourselves to be Catholic Brothers and Sisters in Christ; you are welcome to use ‘Brother’ or ‘Sister’ in front of your name if you wish. Members do not take vows, and you may participate as much or as little as your state of life and situation allows. There will never be any monetary cost to be a member. If you have questions, feel free to email us, or use the Contact Form under “Contact” on this website. God bless you.

IV. Declaration of Intent
I, the undersigned, do hereby petition for enrollment in the Communion of Saints Confraternity. I profess my unyielding adherence to the Catholic Faith in its entirety, as handed down from the Apostles, free from Modernism. I resolve to live a life of prayer and charity in union with the Saints in Heaven and the Souls in Purgatory. As members, we find our strength in this three-fold union. By removing the burden of legalistic obligation, we allow the soul to move toward these devotions out of pure love for Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.
