Holy Family Home
“To serve is to love”
The health and well-being of our elderly population is
an issue that touches us all. With the ‘silver tsunami’
of aging baby boomers on its way, the need for out-
standing home-away-from-home facilities is reaching
a critical stage.
Holy Family Home in Winnipeg, Manitoba is one of
those exceptional places; providing loving, faith-based
care in an atmosphere where everyone is treated as
family. Like many non-profit residences for the elderly,
the Home receives government funding for day-to-day
operations. But the similarities end there. Holy Family
has a unique history and cultural vision that makes
their Home a true Godsend for the community.
In the Beginning
Holy Family Home was established in 1957 by the
Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate, a Ukrainian
Catholic religious order founded 120 years ago in the
Ukraine by Sister Josephata Hordashevska - “Blessed
Josephata”. The Sisters have a world-wide presence
in various ministries, including health care, long term
care, and education. They believe they are here “to
care for their people” – primarily, but not exclusively,
