Faith and Learning into the Future
Holy Names Educational Ministries
HNEM is the sponsoring entity for ministries begun by the Sisters of the Holy Names. We currently sponsor six schools and two other educational programs, all of them dedicated to promoting the SNJM Charism and Core Values in our sponsored ministries.
In 2018, the Sisters of the Holy Names made a bold decision to create what is now known as Holy Names Educational Ministries (HNEM) to sustain their schools and other ministries into the future. They rejoiced in the approval granted by the Vatican on December 8, 2022, and HNEM was established.
The purpose of HNEM is to carry out the Sisters’ vision for education and to continue their mission and core values in the ministries they have founded, led and nurtured for many years.
“The Sisters of the Holy Names are very excited and hopeful about this new form of sponsorship and believe that it will ensure a vital, mission-focused future for our beloved educational ministries. We look forward with confidence.”
