Servants of the Holy Family (SHF) was the first traditional Latin Mass religious community for men begun in the United States.
[6] Their stated purpose is "to aspire after and achieve by the grace of God the sanctification of its members and the salvation of souls through their prayers, sacrifices and apostolate".
Also, frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament as well as mental prayer and spiritual reading are considered most important for all of the members, who are to regard holiness of life as their primary objective.
[8] According to their website, the liturgical life of Servants of the Holy Family is based on the traditional Latin Mass, which is offered exclusively at the SHF chapel.
SHF makes additional sources of doctrine and morals available on their website, such as live stream of Masses and ceremonies in the chapel, daily saints' biographies, social media videos, seasonal sermons, unpublished sermons from their archives, spiritual booklets,[12] online classes, and links to saint's videos, through an annual membership.
[13] To further assist in explaining the truths of the Church, SHF has been active in catechetical work using the Internet to reach people domestically and internationally.
[15] SHF publishes a Liturgical Calendar which gives the accurate daily schedule of the Church’s worship throughout the year and includes devotional art and a mini-catechism section with prayers.
[16] SHF recorded a compact disc of inspirational Gregorian chant and polyphonic music intended to enhance appreciation of the Sacred Liturgy in the Church.
[21] In the following years, anonymous Catholic bishops who visited the community confirmed people who attended Mass at the SHF chapel.
