Partners in mission
Associates are lay people who share in the spirit and mission of the Sisters of the Holy Family. Together, we work to bring God’s love and hope to the world through prayer, community, and service no matter where we live in California and beyond.
We have come together under one faith to be companions on the journey since 1990.
Called at our Baptism to be disciples of Christ, We have been attracted by the charism of the Sisters of the Holy Family and commit ourselves through OUR covenant to these essential elements in our shared life and mission:
A lifestyle which embodies the charism of our founding:
- simplicity of lifestyle
- integrity
- justice
- hospitality
- prayer
Active companionship with one another, offering each other our supportive personal presence, respect, reverence, compassion, acceptance, and trust.
Ministry in the spirit of our founding, characterized by:
- availability to the people
- seeking out the people
- responding to the needs and sufferings of the people of our time
As one of our members said:
“ SEEDS SOWN……HAVE GROWN….BEYOND KNOWN”
