National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd

The National Advocacy Center educates and develops strategies to address social justice issues and advocates for the transformation of society to the benefit of all people.

As Saint Mary Euphrasia declared, "One person is of more value than the world."

NAC reflects the spirituality, history and mission of the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd (better known as the Sisters of the Good Shepherd), working in solidarity with the disenfranchised - particularly families, women and children.

At the NAC, we amplify the Good Shepherd voice by linking the ministries and services of the Sisters, lay associates, and lay staff around the country to speak up and work for change in the structures of society.

NAC organizes the Good Shepherd constituency to petition the United States Congress to act favorably on issues that impact those on the margin.

Spotlights

Lebanon Crisis Response

As violence continues to escalate across the Middle East, Lebanon is once again deeply affected, and the Good Shepherd International Foundation is asking for your donation to help provide urgent relief.

Early March 2026, airstrikes began tearing through South Lebanon, Beirut's southern suburbs, and the Bekaa Valley, forcing tens of thousands of families to flee their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Your gift will directly enable life-saving assistance for those who already have lost so much, more than once.

The Good Shepherd Sisters programs in Lebanon serve 30,000 people every year in Mount Lebanon, Beirut and Bekaa Valley, providing shelter and protection to vulnerable women and girls survivors of violence or exploitation; social and psychological services for families, quality healthcare services at the St. Antoine Community Health Center in Beirut; education and safe spaces for recreational and after school activities for children. This dramatic emergency and increasing demand for aid and humanitarian support are causing even our essential services to collapse. Now, more than ever, it is important to support those most in need in Lebanon.
