• Mission:
  Our mission is to promote devotion to our Blessed
  Mother through the image of her Immaculate Heart.
  
  
  
  
  History:
  La Archicofradia has its roots in La Unión del Sagrado
  Corazón De María which was founded in 1806 at the San
  Eutiquio parish in Rome. This organization was later
  officially established in 1863 thanks to the influence of St.
  Anthony Mary Claret in Spain.
  
  Claretian priest, Fr. Ricardo Treviño founded La
  Archicofradia at St. John the Evangelist in San Marcos in
  1948.
  
  
  Activities:
  Under the guidance of our pastors, members serve and
  support ideas, projects and programs for the parish to
  benefit the community.
  We have fundraisers throughout the year to help
  offset our society's events as well as to give
  donations to our parish.
  We attend Mass together once a month at St. John
  as part of our corporate communion where
  members attend dressed in the proper emblem
  of the confraternity and sit as a group and
  participate in the Mass.
  We invite the public to pray the Holy Rosary on
  the 1st Saturday of each month, and during the
  month of August when members partake in a
  Novena of reconsecration to the Immaculate Heart
  of Mary.
  
  Membership:
  The organization includes 20 active members and
  another 20 honorary members.
  We invite any Catholic women, age 18 and older,
  living a life in good format to the Gospel to join.
  Once you join, you are considered a member for life.
