The Missionaries of the Holy Family are pleased to present a prayerful reflection on the Holy Family called the Stations of the Holy Family. This meditation was inspired at Sacred Heart Parish in Falfurrias, Texas through Father Matthew Stephan, the pastor. The stations capture moments of family life experienced by the Holy Family and those which are also familiar to family life today. After writing these stations, a member of the parish, Brenda Salinas, created 12 oil paintings that illustrate the events of the stations. These Stations of the Holy Family received the Ecclesiastical Approval of +Edmond Carmody, D.D., Bishop of Corpus Christi.
You are invited to browse these stations on line or you can download a copy of the Stations of the Holy Family Prayer Booklet and print it out for your personal use.
