Mission
We, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, an international apostolic Congregation, believe that the Holy Family of Nazareth:
- three persons in communion with God and one another,
- obedient and faithful to the will of God,
reveals to us the profound reality that God is present in he most simple and ordinary experiences of human life.
This vision, which so captivated our Foundress, Frances Siedliska (Mary of Jesus the Good Shepherd), is the source and inspiration for our life and service. Sharing in Jesus' mission of spreading the Kingdom of God's love, we engage in a variety of ministries with and in the Church.
Mindful that it is in an environment of love that persons come to the fullness of life, we witness a family spirit among ourselves, and are dedicated to the moral and religious renewal of family life. We are committed to creating communities of love and hope which celebrate the oneness of the human family.
Community
We accept and treasure each person's uniqueness and encourage her to offer personal gifts of mind, heart, and spirit generously for the good of the whole. Our personalities are different and so are our talents. And what a great diversity of gifts that is for the Church and the Family of God!
