Promoting reverence for the holy name of jesus christ
The NYU Confraternity of the Holy Name is a fraternity for Catholic men dedicated to promoting reverence for the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Balancing faith and college life, we strive to live authentic, fun, and meaningful lives while honoring Jesus in everything we do. Our fraternity provides a supportive environment where brotherhood, spiritual growth, and authentic Catholic living come together to create fraternity. We attend Mass, pray together, and serve others, all while enjoying college experiences. Members are committed to being good men in society, to grow in holiness, lead by example, and support each other in faith and friendship. Join us and be part of a community dedicated to living out Christ’s love, day in and day out.
The Confraternity of the Holy Name is a Catholic men’s brotherhood at The Catholic Center at NYU that promotes reverence for the name of Jesus and provides a community for men to grow in faith, virtue, and brotherhood as sons of the Father. The common good of our brotherhood is the Holy Name of Jesus. Members focus their lives on honoring His name, avoiding blasphemy and encouraging others to do the same.
The confraternity is open to Catholic undergraduate men from the schools served by the Catholic Center at NYU.
You should join the confraternity if you want to take your Catholic faith seriously as a college student in New York City. The confraternity offers you a place to pursue virtue, grow in your faith, and be accountable to your commitment to Christ with men who are pursuing the same goals. Along with this, members enter a network of students and mentors that help you succeed in your professional goals while also living out your faith and preparing for your vocation.
Entrance into the confraternity requires an interview with the officers and a semester-long probationary period. At the end of this period, the man aspiring to the confraternity makes a promise to honor the name of Jesus, inscribes his name in the register, and receives the insignia of the confraternity.
