“I had no great talents, nor have I done anything great…I only loved. But I loved with all the strength of my soul…” said St. Mary Euphrasia Pellitier.
Mission:
Be a presence of Jesus the Good Shepherd by :-
• Approaching and accepting every person as Jesus did with compassion, gentleness and respect.
• Awakening in those wounded by life’s circumstances, a deep sense of their infinite worth and dignity as persons and instilling in them a hope for the future.
• Bringing the liberated love of Jesus the Good Shepherd to others through prayer.
• Witnessing the power of God’s mercy by being united with all people in their need for reconciliation.
• Serving others in the context of the family and society in which they live. Our specific focus is towards girls and women.
“Oh, my God! What are we doing in this world? Why are we here if not to contribute to the salvation of our neighbour?” lamented Sr.Mary Euphrasia Pellieter.
