Making of Sacred Vestments

As part of her External Apostolate, the Holy Family Sisters of the Needy render humble service to the Church through works directly connected with the sacred liturgy.

In service of the dignity of the sacred liturgy, the sisters also make sacred vestments worn by priests during the celebration of the Holy Mass. This work is carried out with care, skill, and prayer, mindful of the sacred purpose for which the vestments are used.

Through these liturgical services, the congregation contributes quietly and faithfully to the worship of God and the Church's spiritual life.
