The Rosary Confraternity is a pious association of the Catholic Church, under the care of the Order of Preachers, “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."

They form a union of the Faithful throughout the world who, along with their own intentions, pray for the intentions and needs of all the Confraternity’s members, living and dead. 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.”

 

To join the Confraternity, one must be a baptized Catholic and voluntarily undertake the obligations of membership in a spirit of genuine devotion. The dead may not be enrolled. To be enrolled one must have their names written in the register of the Confraternity. Any priest of the Order of Preachers can enroll in the register and anyone to whom the Master of the Order has granted authority.

The Confraternity of the Most 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.

Membership in the Confraternity of the Most 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.

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. In doing so, 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.
