Spirituality is the source of everything we are and do – our values, beliefs, personal and communal stories, culture and heritage.
​
Good Shepherd Spirituality flows from the divine energy within us longing for connection with all creation. It calls us forth on a transforming journey of becoming fully human, of being a compassionate and reconciling presence in our relationships, especially with those at the margins. (adapted from AP Formators Session, Philippines. 2011)
​
Good Shepherd Spirituality and Charism transcends religion and respects all faiths and beliefs.
