Series forms part of St. Mary's Basilica (Halifax, N.S.) fonds and consists of signatures of members of the Confraternity between 1891 and 1910, arranged chronologically. Members were enrolled in the society in a special ritual and presented with a brown scapular. Their names were then entered into the society's roll book and kept at the Cathedral. Under the old system of indulgences, this roll book proved that an individual qualified for a certain number of indulgences. At the back of the book, there are some pages listing mass times as headings (i.e. Morning Mass, 6 O'Clock Mass), with names and amounts. Whether the amounts were membership dues or donations is unclear.
