(PMP or Community of the Good Shepherd, was formed on March 25, 1997, feast
of the Annunciation-Incarnation and the 394th Anniversary of foundation of the
Congregation of Jesus and Mary CJM by St. John Eudes)
A confluence of streams led to the birth of this community
aptly named and described by the six original members and their RGS-CGS co-formators
as a “Community of the Good Shepherd being formed by St. John Eudes and St. Mary
Euphrasia.” These include –an experience of and participation in healing and
renewal ministry of the RGS and their community’s sharing sessions and
recollections with the CGS. A member’s dream while she was experiencing a crisis
situation, of a kind-looking man who assured her, “Do not be afraid, I will help
you, I am John Eudes.” All the members and their families continue to
experience the caring presence of SJE and SME in their lives.
They do not live together now, as they used to, in a
community house. They experience a new form of community and evangelical life
and communion according to Pope John Paul II’s Vita Consecrata—a community made
up “of men and women; of clerics and lay; married and celibates (including
widows) who are bonded by the same spirit” and mission of the Good Shepherd. They
journey towards the same goal of renewal and integral transformation. The
community members, those who have made initial and final commitment in
community, as well as a greater number of “co- journeyers” facilitate and
provide facilities for retreats and recollections, group processes and seminar
workshops. guidance, counseling and therapy for individuals and various groups
of students, teachers, catechists, pastoral workers, youth.
