The Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd is an international religious Congregation within the Catholic tradition, known as the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. The vision and mission of the Congregation is based on the Gospel message of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and foundations of social justice. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd were founded in France in 1835 by Saint Mary Euphrasia Pelletier to assist women and children most in need and continued expanding the vision of St John Eudes from 1641.

Across the world for almost 200 years (and within a broader timeline of 400 years), Good Shepherd Sisters have been providing courageous and compassionate services to women, girls and families to assist them overcome disadvantage.
