What is the St. Philomena Archconfraternity?
Robert responds:
The Archconfraternity's primary apostolate is praying for priests (St. John Vianney was very devoted to St. Philomena) and for the purity of our youth (St. Philomena died for her purity).
How is this carried out?
Msgr Braschi recently appointed a Secretary, Marie Burns, who lives in Scotland to organize the prayer groups.
Len and Simonetta Pacek, from the St. Philomena Foundation, are friends of the Sanctuary in Italy and are also doing great work. They also attribute the start of their apostolate to the great Father John A. Hardon.
The primary website out of Italy is www.philomena.it.
In the websites provided you will find more about the history of the Archconfraternity, information about St. Philomena, and much more.
Lets give Msgr Braschi a good showing if you are available.
