Mission
Our mission as Sisters of the Holy Family, an African American Congregation, is to proclaim the Gospel message of Jesus Christ by living the consecrated life.
We exemplify and share the spirituality and charism of Henriette Delille with the people of God. We bring healing comfort to children, the elderly, the poor, and the powerless, especially those of African descent.
As we embrace the third millennium, our love for God compels us to confront racism, all forms of injustice, discrimination, and economic oppression through evangelization and education.
Our leadership in parish ministry and social outreach promotes family life for the well being of the church and society by fidelity of Christian faith and morals.
