A pastoral charism
at the service
of the local faith community

  Sisters of Jesus Good Shepherd, commonly known as “Pastorelle Sisters”, the name which expresses our belonging to Christ and the grace to share in his pastoral mission.

 “…the Pastorelle Sisters are to be sisters, mothers, catechists, consolers in every sorrow, and a beneficial ray of light in the parish”
(Bl. James Alberione 1947, Founder) 

 

 

  We live in small communities, sharing who we are and what we have, and are committed to the building up of Christian communities in cooperation with pastors and lay leaders.

“The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the people of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed, nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts...United in Christ, they are led by the Holy Spirit in their journey to the kingdom of their Father....” (GS1).
