Sons of the Holy Family

The Congregation of the Sons of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph (Latin: Congregatio Filiorum Sacrae Familiae, Iesu, Mariae et Ioseph; abbreviated S.F.)

is an institute of consecrated life for priests in the Catholic Church (a type of clerical religious congregation of pontifical right for men).

[1][2] A Catholic priest and the son of a peasant farmer, Manyanet founded the congregation out of his great concern for children and family life.

[1] The Sons of the Holy Family had arrived in the United States in 1920, and ministered to the Spanish-speaking population in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.

[1] Today, the American regional headquarters and seminary is located in Silver Spring, Maryland, and the Sons of the Holy Family maintain eight houses in the US, mostly in the southwest.
