How and When?
Consecration to the Holy Family is accomplished by reciting in public the approved formula in the presence of the pastor or properly designated priest. The formula of consecration refers to the accountability and commitment that the member of the Holy Family Association assumes according to his/her call and talents.
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8th) and the Feast of the Holy Family (1st Sunday after the Nativity of our Lord) are the dates designated for the ceremony of consecration.
Members of the Holy Family Association are consecrated for a year and they receive a certificate of their consecration along with their membership in the Holy Family Association. Their names are written in the Book of the Holy Family Association. A copy of this book is in the Headquarters of the Holy Family Association at the Temple of the Holy Family, in Rome, and another copy is in the Headquarters of the Sons of the Holy Family, in Barcelona.
