Future of the prayer group

I pray that someday there is a strong devotion to Servant of God John Paul II and that my prayer group can eventually grow into a confraternity.
The Catholic Encylopedia New Advent states:
“A confraternity or sodality is a voluntary association of the faithful, established and guided by competent ecclesiastical authority for the promotion of special works of Christian charity or piety. The name is sometimes applied to pious unions, but the latter differ from confraternities inasmuch as they need not be canonically erected and they regard rather the good of the neighbour than the personal sanctification of the members. Confraternities are divided into those properly so called and those to which the name has been extended. “- http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04223a.htm
So I’m begining to do some research on how to make this a reality and by God’s grace I’ll make it happen. If anyone out there is a member of another confraternity, please leave a comment with your experience with that particular group.
