Holy Family is blessed to receive visits from many religious congregations during the course of each year.
We try to welcome sisters and host special events whenever possible. We also make an effort to give greater visibility to various forms of consecrated life in our own archdiocese. We want the young women of our parish to know the beauty of a vocation to be a "Bride of Christ" and be open to His call! (Watch for upcoming events involving sisters on our
events page.) Beginning in the summer of 2020 we expect some of the
Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus to regularly work with our parish!
We also encourage young men to explore the possibility of religious life.
Most summers we offer a "Nun Run" in which high-school and college-aged women are invited to visit orders of religious women with Fr. Joseph and a group of adult female chaperones. This weeklong road-trip stops at various convents in nearby states and exposes young women to a wide range of charisms and apostolates.
