We are a local congregation founded in the year 2007 in the Archdiocese of Kisumu, following our Seraphic Father St. Francis under the patronage of Jesus the Good Shepherd. The congregation's humble beginnings were marked by the establishment of a rented house in Migosi Estate within Kisumu City, which served as our first novitiate.
His Grace Most Rev. Zacchaeus Okoth
He is the first African Bishop in the Archdiocese of Kisumu and the founder of two other congregations: the Our Lady of Perpetual Help for Brothers and the Franciscan Missionaries of Hope, Awasi.
Very Rev. Sr. Dr. Angelica Obaga
She was from the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph, Asumbi.
We are established in Kisumu (St. Monica), St. Francis (Riwo), Koru, Muhoroni, Siaya, and currently in Yogo.
Good leadership and peaceful service with integrity of the Good Shepherd.
We, the Franciscan Sisters of the Good Shepherd, follow the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, who had deep compassion for the poor, alongside a profound love for animals and Mother Earth. As a congregation, we strive to work diligently at all times.
