The History of the Universal Archconfraternity of Saint Philomena
The Universal Archconfraternity of Saint Philomena has its humble beginnings in Paris France. On October 6, 1876 in Paris, France, Fr. Louis Petit founded the Confraternity of Saint Philomena, also known as the Work of Saint Philomena, with the blessing and approval of the Cardinal Giubert.
He said: "With our devotion to Saint Philomena we bless God who is reflected in His Saints. Honoring Saint Philomena we proclaim the power of God in the strength of His Martyrs, and His Infinite Goodness in the favors He concedes to the prayers of His Saints. This was the theology of the Holy Curé of Ars, and this will be ours also".
The Confraternity of Saint Philomena was raised to the rank of Archconfraternity by Pope Leo XIII, in November 1886.
The Archconfraternity of Saint Philomena was raised to the rank of a Universal Archconfraternity by Pope St. Pius X, on May 21, 1912, with the publication of the Apostolic brief, "Pias Fidelium Societates."
The example of love of the Holy Fathers towards Saint Philomena has caused many great souls to consecrate themselves to her. Among her devotees, the most distinguished may be the Holy Curé of Ars, Saint John Vianney, because of his great love for her and for his commitment to making her known and loved.
The purpose of the Universal Archconfraternity of Saint Philomena remains the same today, to join devotees of Saint Philomena worldwide into one spiritual family under the direction of the International Shrine - The Sanctuary of Saint Philomena in Mugnano del Cardinale, Avellino, Italy.
The members of the Universal Archconfraternity form an association of prayer and work who resolve to live a life according to the Gospel of Christ and to promote the Gospel in the world. The Universal Archconfraternity is also dedicated to the Christian education of children and youth and to prayer for vocations and the sanctification of the Clergy, following the special example of Saint Philomena, Virgin and Martyr.
