BI-CENTENARY HOLY FAMILY OF BORDEAUX

On Trinity Sunday 1820 the Association of the Holy Family of Bordeaux was founded by the Venerable Pierre Bienvenu Noailles, a young priest from Bordeaux.  The Association comprises five vocations: Apostolic Sisters, Contemplative Sisters, Consecrated Seculars, Lay members and Priests.  All members live the same spirituality inspired by the spirit of Jesus, Mary and Joseph who lived for GOD ALONE. 

We give thanks to God for the presence of the Holy Family Sisters in Magherafelt Parish since 1889 and for all the great work they have done especially in education.  Congratulations to Sister Caitriona and Siter Margaret on this historic milestone which we will mark in a more formal way when the Church fully reopens.
