Every year the conrfraternity appointed six visitors who were to visit the poor an sick in their homes an provide them with food, medicine and clothes. Each of the visitors was responsible for three or four to the city's twenty-one parishes and in each parish some five or six persons received assistance.
Parish relief was not limited to members of the confraternity, but the majority of persons who received parochial relief were women and many were widows of deceased brothers; in October 1524 twenty-six of the thirty weekly recipients were females and fifteen of these were widows. One of the parish visitors also included the three city prisons in his rounds, and in the largest of these establishments, the Royal Prison, the brothers paid a 'Mitress of the Prison' who regularly attended to the medical needs of inmates.
