Holy Family Guild: What we do

What we do - family support

Just as the members of the first guilds were associated with almsgiving, care of the sick, burial of the dead and in providing Masses for the souls of deceased members, so our members assist one another both in spiritual and temporal necessities. We especially pray for one another.

Who we are and what we do

We are a group of families who meet together to share social time, the family catechesis of the Church, prayer, liturgy and activities for children and young people. We are a lifeline for Catholic families who are grateful for one another's support in their struggle to live their faith in today’s world. We strive to always live by the teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church

The early guilds were voluntary associations for religious, social, and commercial purposes. Guilds in England had a collective responsibility for the good conduct of their members and their mutual well being and therefore mirrored the role of the family in society.

The Holy Family Guild is an association of families under the patronage of the Holy Family operating in the spirit of those medieval guilds.Our members assist one another both in spiritual and temporal necessities. We especially pray for one another.

Three contemplative orders are currently praying for us
