When you are working for Jesus the Good Shepherd, every job has its value...

  Two apartment houses that give women in difficulty
a stable and safe place to live.

A team of service workers on hand daily,
in-person and telephone counselling services,
and supportive care and attention:

           * to help these women get back on their feet;

           * so they can take charge of their lives with a sense of independence and responsibility.

All of this is done in a spirit of respect for their
personal to growth and with faith in
   whatever they are called to become.

  "I, Lucie, hold out my hand so that Jean may experience,
   through my love, anguish turned to comfort. May Bob's fear
become peace. May Diane's despair become hope for an
     eternal life of magnificent grandeur through faith
                             in Jesus Christ.

I am only a hand held out… a loving heart… eyes full of
the meaning of Jesus Christ."

   "Portofino is a housing complex in northern Montréal
   for independent or semi-independent seniors and retired
     persons. I offer a service of availability
   to people living in the complex, and especially those who are experiencing difficulties. By giving my time, I hope to
bring a little hope into the hearts of people who need it.

     Living at Portofino also means sharing community, social and religious activities
        in this "village within the city." We develop relationships and show every person           our deep affection and tell them that they are precious in eyes of God.

                         Being available to carry out volunteer activities
                        in the surrounding housing complexes to carry
                         on the mission of the Good Shepherd with zeal
                          and creative faith."

Sister Joan of Arc

    "Teenagers who have been wounded in their very first relationships
      need someone who believes strongly in them and who has faith
       to help them! When I was barely out of adolescence myself,
      I began helping young women who find it difficulty.

Now, Thematic Design Workshops help them find ways to
express their pain.
    If you would like to know more on this subject,
   you can find three articles on the Internet (www.mtl.centresjeunesse.qc.ca)
     that illustrate how teenagers are finding new hope.

   I am very happy in supporting adults who are searching for meaning
   in their lives and who are turning in new directions. At every age,
     life poses great challenges."

Sister Paulette Brisson

"As a nurse by training, I am still able,
even in retirement, to help
young mothers and their babies. Many
are single mothers and most of them
are on welfare.

My mission is to love them! This means: together with a team
of workers, greeting them for "mother-child" meals, listening
to them, taking part in games and conversations with them, and
easing the loneliness of each one. Finally, as a resource person,
it means answering their questions.

In love, peace, and serenity, this multi-faceted work allows
me to pass on in my own way the goodness and tenderness
of Jesus the Good Shepherd."
