At the heart of who we are is our name, Holy Union

The Holy Union Sisters are an international congregation of Catholic women religious who minister today on four continents. We wear a cross with the Latin words, Sancta Unio inscribed on the front, as a symbol of our internationality. It reminds us of the desire of our founder, Jean Baptiste Debrabant, who in a letter to the sisters in 1842, wrote of the special significance of our name: “You have received that name only that you may form all together a union of heart, mind and affection in Jesus and Mary.”

We express this union first of all by being one with ourselves. We strive to bring this union to our world by working among different cultures, ethnic groups, the deprived and marginalized. We strive to respect and care for the earth.

Jubilarians in 2022

This year we celebrate seven Jubilarians!

This year we’re blessed to celebrate the vocations of seven Jubilarians.  In our Summer 2022 issue of Response, “We are One”, we asked each to name a favorite scripture verse which spoke to this theme, and why they selected that verse. Their answers can be seen by clicking the link above.   Let us always pray for one another..
