Enrolling
Someone Else

Once enrolled as a primary member of FOSS, you may choose to enroll others as third-party members, also known as sponsored members or enrollees.  If you have family, friends, colleagues or someone for whom you particularly wish to pray, you may enroll them as a sponsored member. If you are encouraging someone to enroll themselves in FOSS, they should enroll themselves as a primary member and thus be responsible for their own membership. 

When enrolling others, you commit to arranging one annual Mass for the Holy Souls on their behalf. The Mass can be booked via the FOSS website, via Aid to the Church in Need, or with any parish of your choosing. The Mass is offered for the Holy Souls in Purgatory with a special commemoration for the deceased members of FOSS.

FOSS does not communicate with your sponsored members or require their contact details.  Many sponsored members do not know they have been enrolled; it will only be in eternity that the graces of their enrolment will be seen in full. The graces are many, for your sponsored member shares the merit of the Mass offering together with the gratitude of the Holy Souls. They participate in the graces of all the Masses offered by the members of the FOSS association. 

You will receive an annual reminder of this commitment, which should not be taken lightly. To enroll and sustain the membership of sponsored members is a great act of charity. By this offering, you are looking after not only the Holy Souls, but also the person on whose behalf this effort is made. Such a person, blessed by your spiritual work of mercy, will be eternally grateful to you.
