Holy Family Guild: Blessed John Paul II

Monday 2 May 2011

Blessed John Paul II

I do not intend to further fuel discussion as to whether the Beatification of John Paul II should have occured now or at all. Pope Benedict XVI knew what was happening. To paraphrase 'I wanted to start the process soon. The fact that it has come to fruition today is because the Lord so willed it'
We trust in the Lord and thank Blessed John Paul II for one of his many gifts to the Church, Familiaris Consortio, the 'Bible' of the Holy Family Guild, surely due for a reread in this, its 30th year.

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
