Southern Europe Province
Who we are
An international Catholic congregation serving women, children and families since 1835.
Founded in Angers, France, by Saint Mary Euphrasia Pelletier, the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd today serves in more than 70 countries on five continents. In our Southern Europe Province — Italy, Malta, Portugal and Spain — we walk with women, children and families pushed to the margins.
