Congregation of the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family –  USA

Seeing the family as the basis of society, the Venerable Patriarch Howayek founded this Congregation in order to appropriately serve families.

He envisioned three steps towards building a good society:

To build a good and just society, it is through women that future priests, governors, teachers, laborers, artisans and tradespeople are raised. He wanted to provide Lebanese girls with an education based on civic and evangelical values.

Subsequently, his attention was focused on all members of the family, starting with the most vulnerable among them: the children, the sick and the elderly.
