We, Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth (CSFN), are an international Roman Catholic congregation of vowed religious women dedicated to spreading the Kingdom of God’s love, particularly within families. We do this by serving families through active ministry in schools, hospitals, parishes, prisons and social service agencies. We also spread the Kingdom through our daily living in a community of prayer and commitment to God and the Holy Family.
Today, this vision of Nazareth is being lived by some 1,100 sisters serving in 14 countries: Australia, Belarus, England, France, Ghana, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, and the United States, We are joined by 700 lay associates.
