Our Mission
Welcoming. Healing. Reconciling.
As Sisters of the Good Shepherd, we are Jesus’ reconciling presence in the world, restoring dignity and nurturing hope so that all may thrive.
Who We Are
You have been chosen for this holy work.
St. Mary Euphrasia
Since our founding 400 years ago, Good Shepherd sisters and partners-in-mission have been healing hearts and transforming lives through care, prayer and love. Our call to empower women and girls continues, expanding our service to all in need of healing and hope.
The mission does not belong to the sisters alone. It is alive in the collaboration with partners-in-mission – women and men who serve in our ministries and beyond, embracing the spirit of the founders to be the reconciling presence of Jesus to those in need.
Together with you, sisters and partners-in-mission carry this mission forward into the future, ever responsive to the call of restoring dignity and hope to all people and creation.
