Historic Overview
The Good Shepherd Sisters are an international order of Sisters with almost a 400-year history of serving primarily women and children who have been abused or exploited in some way.
Internationally, the Sisters are currently in 73 countries working in areas such as domestic violence, human trafficking, prostituted women, addiction recovery, services for abused children, residential treatment centers for teens, prison ministry, family support and counseling centers, education for women and especially for girls in developing countries, skills training and income-generating programs for the poor, especially women, self-sufficiency programs and much more.
In 1932, a small group of Sisters arrived in San Francisco to build a residential treatment center and school for girls who were placed by the juvenile justice system. The Sisters arrived with nothing and quickly raised all the necessary funds to build a convent and The University Mound School for Girls. During the next 78 years in San Francisco, the Sisters of the Good Shepherd brought together an extraordinary list of donors and philanthropists to its cause, and its mission to serve girls in trouble.
The Sisters often needed to care for their high school graduates who had nowhere to go after graduation. They began to dream of providing a transitional residence for these girls so that they could live in a real home and go out to college and work. In 1961, the Sisters and the donors gathered together all the local Unions who generously built Grace Cottage, providing all the labor and materials for free. It was named after Grace Finlay, one of the major donors. It still runs today as Good Shepherd Gracenter, still helping young women in trouble and with nowhere else to go.
VISION STATEMENT
We envision a day when women in recovery can live fully, strengthen their families and enrich their communities.
