Through their social work and teaching, the Good Shepherd Sisters have been   "change agents ", as we say today.

 

   

 

GOOD SHEPHERD WORKS IN THE PAST

Mrs. Roy and her Collaborators worked at:
St. Magdalen's Refuge,  67 Richelieu Street, Québec City, a shelter for prostitute women, 1850.


                     
January 1850 to October-1950

 
   
 

In 1973, Our Lady of Mercy Refuge ( the Québec Women's prison ) was renamed   « Maison Gomin ».  One Sister remained directress until 1981,
and another was a peace officer until 1992.

 

1931-1973

   

Mercy Hospital, 1874-1972,
a maternity center which received unwed mothers
without distinction of rank, religion or nationality.

The Foundling Home, 1901-1972,
took in 38,672 infants
      over 72 years.

 

 

The Reform School, Cap-Rouge, cared for young delinquent women.

1944-1975

 St. Charles Hospice was an orphanage  for children, especially girls
 from troubled  homes.

1870-1965

 

St. Geneviève Patronage received girls
who remained  homeless after their stay
 at St. Charles Hospice.

 

1916-1968

   

 

TODAY


By the 1980s, the era of great social works and large schools seemed to close, but the Sisters' mission was not ended by any means.

The Sisters have become involved in new works, some led by the Congregation, others in partnership with other religious communities, with non-profit organizations, with Good Shepherd Affiliates, or with other lay people.
