Joining Nazareth

The Association of the Holy Family

What is the Association? How do I become an Associate?

The Association of the Holy Family of Nazareth is a group of committed lay women and men who help advance the mission and ministry of the congregation. An Associate is an individual who serves as a special extension of the CSFN community. He or she commits to living out our values:

Love, Unity, Simplicity, Hospitality and Faithful Listening.

Associates participate in a variety of ways, such as performing vital work for the congregation on a volunteer basis, joining the sisters in prayer from their homes and during special days of prayer, and walking with the sisters on the path Jesus showed us.

Worldwide, the Association has more than 700 members; more than 500 Associates hail from the U.S. Today, the Association is truly a global program, as envisioned by our Mother Foundress, Blessed Mary of Jesus the Good Shepherd.

For more information about and/or to join the Association, please contact one of our local coordinators.
