On October 7, 1938, Fr. Alberione founded the Sisters
of Jesus the Good Shepherd to be "mothers and sisters, everyone's friends, rays of
sunshine and joy in the parish." He wanted them to model their efforts on the
early Church's model where women excelled in their service to the community.
He wanted them to be great by serving all. They are found in twelve countries
on five continents. The kingdom that they serve, however, has no boundaries
and transcends the continents of this beautiful planet.
