Good Samaritans recognise that integrity in ministry is at the heart of the call to seek God who impels us to be neighbour. As such, we are committed to creating and maintaining co-operative and harmonious relationships in Good Samaritan communities, with partners in ministry and wherever the Sisters of the Good Samaritan are invited to participate in God’s mission. Good Samaritans are committed to providing safe environments for children, young people and adults at risk; and to restorative justice.
