Connecting and uniting four different organisations into one big family.

Our first Chief Priest was instrumental in connecting and uniting four different organisations into one big family. (If 'family' an appropriate word?)

The above is written by my daughter. I think connecting is redundant because of the word uniting. I have rephrased the sentence as shown below. Am I correct? Thanks.

Your sentence is fine, but so is your daughter's sentence if she was thinking of a two-step process—something like two companies' joint venture and subsequent merger.
