The mission of the Congregation forever remains that of reconciliation, the reaching out to people, especially women and girls who have experienced injustice, oppression and alienation due to life circumstances or unjust social structures.

        Through our ministries we strive to approach each person as Jesus the Good Shepherd would, awakening in each one a sense of their own unique worth and inestimable value. We work to create programs and nurturing environments where people can change and grow and reach their full potential. Our commitment is to promote justice and peace and to impact those systems and structures, which condemn some to live marginalized lives.

         Through our relationships and daily commitment to living Gospel values that guide our choices, interactions and activities, we deepen and strengthen the bonds of unity with all humanity. We are conscious that no one program or place addresses the needs of all. Each Good Shepherd program strives to address the particular needs of its community while embracing the philosophy of St. Mary Euphrasia, whose fundamental principle is a strong belief in the uniqueness and dignity or each person.
