The name of the Holy Family

The Father Founder handed over to Mother Rosalie authority and responsibility, with Sister Stephanie Kardoush as her Assistant. The name of the Holy Family was given to the Congregation, a name which placed it under the care of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Elias Howayek in fact believed that this Holy Family would protect the Sisters and bestow on them virtues that would then be passed on to Christian families according to his intention of establishing a prosperous society on the “basis of virtues that build homes and protect families and preserve societies from ignorance ” (Letter of the Father Founder written in the year 1915).
