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.​
