A men's group that meets the second Sunday of the month at the 8:00 AM Mass followed by a business meeting and breakfast. Committees assist at annual parish-wide social events.

The Church has a duty to speak to the world - to proclaim the wisdom and love which the Holy Spirit imparts - the only true foundation of life. The Holy Name Society, desires to share in this work of the Church. We, who have placed our faith and trust in His Holy Name, see our Society's founding as providential. For us, it is a reflection of the Incarnation, when the Word became flesh. As Holy Name members therefore, all our words must be in harmony with the Eternal Word of the Father, Jesus, our Lord, for not other name has been given by which we can be saved. Jesus is the foundation of our faith, the reason for our hope, and the source of our charity. 

Throughout the centuries, the Church has given her support and shown her confidence in the Holy Name Society as truly Catholic in faith and apostolic work. Since its founding in the early 15th century, popes have granted the Society many privileges and indulgences. As we continue in this great tradition, the members of the Society remain committed to being faithful disciples of Christ, always striving to love and serve Him and the Church, by bringing honor and devotion to His Holy Name.
