The Association of the Holy Family of Bordeaux was founded by Fr Pierre Bienvenu Noailles in 1819. He had conceived the idea of this foundation in 1818 while he was still a Seminarian at St Sulpice in Paris. He began by surrounding himself with a group of young people who came to receive religious instruction from him.

Other parishioners also helped him in his ministry to the poor, the sick and the needy people of Bordeaux and its suburbs where he worked as a young priest and assistant of the parish priest of St Eulalie. From this group were born other branches or groups of the Association which grew and spread to all the continents of the world.

The diversity of the Holy Family Association allowed it to respond, as far as possible, to the pressing needs of the day by establishing a variety of relevant ministries for different places where people are found. The first community of the Holy Family Sisters in Bordeaux was an orphanage for girls. After this there followed other Ministries such as teaching, nursing and various forms of pastoral involvement with the poor and needy, including those who are materially rich but spiritually in need of help.

The last group which was founded by Fr Pierre Bienvenu Noailles was that of the ‘Solitary Sisters’ who were devoted to a life of prayer and sacrifice to ask for God’s blessing to be showered upon the entire Association and to thank God for the extraordinary Eucharistic blessing received by our foundresses on 3rd February 1822.

All the groups of the Association have the same Apostolic aim to spread and strengthen the faith among the people. They draw their strength from a common source of the Spirit of God, following the example of Jesus, Mary and Joseph who, “In their earthly life, loved, sought and desired nothing but God Alone.” The Holy Family Associates also draw their strength from the source of the Spirit that inspired zeal and detachment to the Apostles and the Christians of the early Church.
