The initial form of devotion to the Holy Family established by our first priests in New Mexico, USA, was known as The Monthly Home Visit. This consisted of a journeying statue of the Holy Family making the rounds of thirty families each month. It first began among the Indians of San Ildefonso and from there spread throughout the whole area. In time new approaches would develop regarding children and youth ministries and a truly Nazarene family life apostolate.
This blog introduces you to the spirituality and mission of the Sons of the Holy Family, in the North American Delegation. The Sons of the Holy Family is a religious order of priests and brothers founded by Saint Joseph Manyanet to serve and walk with families, children and youth. There is a female branch of this family whose name is Missionaries and Daughters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. The lay branch is called The Holy Family Association, still in formation.
