How to be Admitted into the Confraternity

1. It is necessary to give one's name to a Dominican Priest (or to a Priest who has Dominican faculties).

2. To have one's name entered in the register.

3. To have beads blessed by a Dominican Father (or by a Priest who has Dominican faculties).

All Catholics who have the use of reason can be admitted into the Confraternity. Those absent, the deaf and dumb and the dying can be admitted, provided that they have expressed their desire.

Duties.—The whole fifteen mysteries are to be said by each associate every week; these mysteries may be said separately. Meditation (at the least calling the mystery to mind), is necessary to gain the Indulgences.

The associates do not bind themselves to these duties under any pain of sin; but if the entire Rosary is not said during the week, the member will forfeit many of the Indulgences.

Religious and others who by Rule or pious custom say the Rosary every day, satisfy the obligations of the Confraternity by this recital, and need not say an additional Rosary.
