Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception: International Questions
The Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception is a private association of the faithful who, living in the world and participating in the spirituality, apostolate, and mission of the Congregation of Marian Fathers, particularly spread devotion to the Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God and pray for the deceased, while striving for Christian perfection.
To learn more about the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception and its obligations, visit the What is the Confraternity? page.
If I live outside of the U.S., how can I become a member of the Confraternity?
It depends on where you live and which language you speak. English speaking candidates may contact [email protected] to receive the paperwork to begin the process. Once a member, you would be encouraged to use our resources available on the Confraternity webpage to spiritually nourish your new lifetime commitment. Those requesting membership speaking other languages or residing in other countries would be directed to contact the Marian Fathers' Confraternity closest to them.
Is there an investiture or enrollment formula in Italian or, at least, in Latin?
You can find the Latin Investiture here.
If you would like to be invested with our Blue Scapular or admitted to the Confraternity by one of our Italian-speaking Marian Fathers in Rome, then we would suggest contacting:
