Good Shepherd Companions, (GSC), are inspired by the Spirit of Jesus as were His companions along the road to Emmaus. Our hearts burn within us. We believe in the Divine Presence active in men and women around the globe. We envision a new invigorating movement of conscious care for the earth and all its creatures. We are on a journey as companions building bridges of faith hope and love. Will you join us for a little while to journey together?
