Holy Family's Catholic identity, rooted in sponsorship by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, shapes institutional mission and culture. The university emphasizes values of service, family, and respect for human dignity that reflect Catholic social teaching. Campus ministry, service programs, and integration of values across curricula distinguish Holy Family from secular alternatives while welcoming students of all backgrounds.<ref name="holyfamily"/>
