The Sisters of the Holy Family is a Catholic religious institute based in Fremont, California, dedicated to advocating for the poor and needy, with a focus on families. It traces its origins to 1872 when Elizabeth Armer and Father John Joseph Prendergast founded the community to serve those in need. Its current ministries include grief counseling, religious education, childcare, canon law, social work, personal growth and spiritual direction, and prison ministry. As membership ages and retirements increase, the community sustains its work by providing financial resources to charitable ministries and by serving on the boards of day homes, with associates contributing to ongoing efforts. The organization operates within the religious institutions sector and maintains a long-standing service orientation aimed at addressing the social needs of impoverished communities from its Fremont base.
