Article 7: Membership in the Association

Christian families and persons who consecrate themselves to the Holy Family and embrace as their own the way of the Association in accordance with their state in life, are members of the Association. The commitments assumed do not bind of themselves under penalty of sin.

Consecration to the Holy Family is accomplished by reciting in public the approved formula in the presence of the pastor or properly designated priest. The consecrated family is then inscribed in the Association’s record book. The national Council will issue a corresponding certificate of membership.
