Holy Family church, Renaissance Revival Catholic church in Veveří, Czech Republic

Holy Family Church is a Neo-Renaissance monastery church designed by Karel Welzl, inspired by the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. Its façade, rebuilt by Zdeněk Bažant after 1947, has three entrances topped by reliefs by Julius Pelikán. It stands on Grohova Street in the Veveří district.

The Congregation of the Merciful Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis, founded in Brno on 15 March 1886, bought the plot from the Perk family in 1891. Bishop František Saleský Bauer chose architect Karel Welzl, who modelled the church on the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. The foundation stone was consecrated on 16 September 1900 and the church on 11 May 1902.

The church is dedicated to the Holy Family of Nazareth, a choice made by Superior General Bernardina Hošková (1849–1922). The Congregation of the Merciful Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis was founded in Brno on 15 March 1886, and the convent church served its community until the sisters were moved to Lechovice in 1958.

The building is located on Grohova Street 18 in Veveří and is accessible during the week as it holds regular Catholic services. Visitors should know that some interior areas may be restricted depending on monastery activities.

The church maintains a direct connection with the adjoining monastery where the Sisters still live and work today. This active link between the church and the living community gives the place an ongoing sense of purpose.
