Holy Family College was a private Catholic liberal arts college in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Founded as an academy in 1885 by the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, the college achieved four-year college status in 1935 and was then called Holy Family College. In 1972 the college became separately incorporated from the Franciscan order, and was renamed Silver Lake College.[4] The college announced it is closing in 2020, with the final classes in August 2020.[5] The college was connected through the same Franciscan order to Manitowoc's major hospital, Holy Family Memorial.
