With grateful hearts and deep joy, we celebrate the renewal of Vows of Sr. Marie Vianney, CSFN, which took place during the Holy Mass at Santuario de San Jose Parish on the Feast of St. Joseph Marello, May 30, 2026.

In a sacred moment of recommitment, ꜱʀ. ᴍᴀʀɪᴇ ᴠɪᴀɴɴᴇʏ renewed her consecration to God, witnessed by the faithful and received by Sr. Greta Marie Gallo, Provincial Superior. Her “yes” echoes once more as a testament of unwavering faith, love, and service in the spirit of the Holy Family with our Mother Foundress, Blessed Mary of Jesus the Good Shepherd.

May her renewed vows continue to inspire many to listen and respond generously to God’s call.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." — Proverbs 3:5–6

Let us keep Sr. Marie Vianney in our prayers as she continues her journey of faithful discipleship to Nazareth. 🙏✨

On the auspicious feast of Pentecost Sunday, our religious family experienced a profound outpouring of the Holy Spirit. With hearts filled with joy and gratitude, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth (CSFN)- Mary of Nazareth province celebrated the Rite of Postulancy for four courageous young women.
During the celebration, these four new postulants formally stepped forward to answer God's whisper of love. They were warmly accepted into this next stage of formation by Sr. Maria Fe Mata, our General Councilor and entrusted them to Sr.Greta Marie Gallo, their Postulant Directress. They will be living as a community at Venerable Sister Malgorzata Banas Convent in Greenwoods, Cainta, Rizal.
By entering the postulancy on Pentecost, their journey is beautifully linked to the Apostles. Just as the Holy Spirit transformed the early Church, the Spirit now guides these women to discern their sacred calling. They begin their formation by learning to live our charism of love, family, and deep prayer.
🌟 To our dear new postulants:
Embrace the flame. The Holy Spirit ignited your path on Pentecost. Trust that same fire to warm your heart during moments of doubt. Look to Nazareth. Model your daily life after the Holy Family. Find extraordinary grace in ordinary acts of love, humility, and community living.Persevere in love. Religious life is a journey of daily surrender. When the road feels long, remember the joy of your first "Yes" to Christ.You are not alone. You walk with Mary and Joseph. You are fully supported by the prayers of your new CSFN sisters worldwide.May you remain steadfast, joyful, and deeply rooted in the love of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Welcome home!

With grateful hearts, we gather as one family in faith for our 16th Provincial Assembly held on May 9–10, 2026.

Guided by our theme,
💙*“ɢʀᴀᴛᴇꜰᴜʟ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀꜱᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ʜᴏᴘᴇꜰᴜʟ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰᴜᴛᴜʀᴇ”* 💙

we pause to reflect on God’s faithfulness through the years, give thanks for the countless blessings received, and look forward with renewed hope and commitment to the mission entrusted to us.

We also thanked Miss Agnes C. Alonsozana for facilitating our writing workshop on the first day of the Provincial Assembly. Your sharing was a great source of inspiration and motivation to the sisters to the output that was expected of them after the group activity. It was also a good challenge to the sisters to make all these proposals a reality in the future.
On the second day we were enriched by the reports of the Provincial Council members as well as the Youth, Associates and School in-charge. We also listened attentively to the message of gratitude and report of our Provincial Superior, Sr. Greta Gallo . Additional to the joys of this day's assembly was the giving of the OBEDIENCE to the sisters for the new Apostolate.
As a highlight of the day, we also gave tribute to our sisters who celebrated their 50th and 70th birthday this year and those who passed the Licensure examinations this year. Giving them their positive attitudes as a gift from the sisters and the prayers offered made a good difference in the celebration.
May this sacred gathering as one CSFN province, inspire deeper unity, wisdom in discernment, and courage to embrace the future with trust in Divine Providence.

🙏 Let us continue to journey together in faith, hope, and love.

On the last day of our retreat , the “Pillars of the Consecrated Pilgrim of Hope” (Renounce, Produce, Preserve, Provide, Edify) offered us practical ways to incarnate the Covenant in daily life. Reflection centered on love as the ultimate criterion (1 Cor 13). We were invited to rejoice in what God has accomplished and to respond generously to the future. The retreat concluded with gratitude and a sending forth—empowered to live Nazareth spirituality with renewed intimacy with God and healthier, life‑giving relationships in community.

Today we joined 𝒮𝑅.𝑀𝒜𝑅𝒴 𝐿𝐸𝒩𝐼𝐸𝐿𝒴𝒩 𝐵𝒜𝑅𝐼𝐿 in thanking God for the gift of her vocation and the many people and experiences she had in her 25 years as a 𝘾𝙎𝙁𝙉 𝙎𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍. The road she might had taken were not all easy, smooth and straight yet God faithfulness, love and mercy were always on her journey to contnue and persevere.
Like what our main celebrant , Fr. Mattheiu Dauchez said in his homily, let us all remain in God;s love so that our joy will be complete. A joy that is not for the meantime and short, but a joy that is constant and pure and for everlasting.
To all those who had been part of Sr. Lenielyn;s journey on her Silver Jubilee and those who had joined in today;s thanksgiving, thank you very much and let us continue to pray for her perseverance and faithfulness in her vocation so that she may serve God with much joy, happiness and love.
