Abstract
Članek obravnava zgodovino slovensko-ameriške katoliške bratske podporne organizacije Družbe Svete Družine, ki je delovala v Jolietu v zvezni državi Illinois. Poudarek je na njenem bratsko-podpornem delovanju in na njeni vodstveni strukturi, ki je bila do leta 2012 slovenska. Predstavljeni so začetki Družbe Svete Družine, njen razvoj skozi desetletja vse do obdobja nakupa. Prav tako so predstavljena društva Družbe Svete Družine, ki so delovala v Jolietu. Opisana je vodstvena struktura Družbe Svete Družine: nacionalni predsedniki, glavni tajniki in duhovni vodje. Pri pisanju članka sem v večji meri uporabil spominske knjige župnije sv. Jožefa v Jolietu v Illinoisu ter članke iz Družbinega uradnega glasila Amerikanski Slovenec. Članek poudarja pomen Družbe Svete Družine, ki ga je v času delovanja imela za skupnost slovenskih Američanov v Jolietu ter tudi širše. Društva Družbe Svete Družine, ki so bila ustanovljena znotraj jolietske škofije, so bila neposredno povezana z jolietsko župni-jo sv. Jožefa in so kot taka vplivala na celostni razvoj njenih župljanov. S širjenjem slovenske besede preko družbinega uradnega glasila Amerikanski Slovenec je Družba Svete Družine ohranjala slovenski jezik med jolietskimi Slovenci ter tudi širše in tako utrjevala in širila zavest o slovenstvu. Družba je s svojimi dejavnostmi (zavarovalninami, tiskom, štipendiranjem, s sodelovanjem v programu papeževih prostovoljcev v Latinski Ameriki itd.) oblikovala kulturno, versko in gospodarsko življenje jolietske skupnosti ter širila prepoznavnost slovenstva med prebivalci Jolieta.

Title:Activities and leadership structure of the Slovenian-American Catholic Fraternal Benevolent Organization, the Holy Family Society, through individual historical periods
Abstract:
The article discusses the history of the Slovenian-American Catholic fraternal benevolent organization, the Holy Family Society, which was active in Joliet, Illinois. The emphasis is on its operations and its leadership structure, which was Slovenian until 2012. The beginnings of the Holy Family Society are presented, as well as its development over the decades until the period of purchase. The lodges of the Holy Family Society that were active in Joliet are also presented. The leadership structure of the Holy Family Society is described; national presidents, general secretaries, and spiritual leaders. In writing the article, I used to a large extent the memorial books of St. Joseph Parish in Joliet, IL, and articles from the Society's official newsletter, Amerikanski Slovenec. The article emphasizes the importance that the Holy Family Society had on the Slovenian American community in Joliet and beyond during its existence. The lodges of the Holy Family Society, which were established within the Joliet diocese, were directly connected to the Joliet parish of St. Joseph and as such influenced the holistic development of their parishioners. By spreading the Slovenian word through the Society's official newsletter, Amerikanski Slovenec, the Holy Family Society preserved the Slovenian language among the Joliet Slovenes and beyond, thus strengthening and spreading the awareness of Slovenianness. Through its activities (insurance premiums, printing, scholarships, participation in the Pope's Volunteers program in Latin America, etc.), the Society shaped the cultural, religious and economic life of the Joliet community and spread the recognition of Slovenianness among the residents of Joliet.
