Foundation News


 The Sisters of the Good Samaritan Foundation is an established Trust Fund through which the Sisters of the Good Samaritan can continue to effectively respond to the social needs of a modern changing world, in constructive and practical ways.

It will solicit contributions, donations and bequests to further the development of Good Samaritan initiatives for the benefit of those in the community who are in need. Remember the story of the Good Samaritan in Lukes Gospel?

He was the one who went over to the injured man after he had been attacked, stripped, beaten and left half dead on the side of he road.

Others had ignored him and passed him by.

The Samaritan was the one who cared, who showed compassion, and who was generous in protecting the injured chap from further harm.

The Sisters of the Good Samaritan Foundation is an established Trust Fund through which the Sisters of the Good Samaritan can continue to effectively respond to the social needs of a modern changing world, in constructive and practical ways.

It will solicit contributions, donations and bequests to further the development of Good Samaritan initiatives for the benefit of those in the community who are in need.

The Sisters of the Good Samaritan Foundation:

  • Will create opportunities for bringing practical compassion to those "wounded" by the harshness and injustices of society.

  • Will generate the necessary resources to facilitate the ongoing support and care of those who are marginalised by society.

  • Now invites others from the wider community to share in this mission in the spirit and tradition of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, by the appropriate use of their gifts and talents.

  • It appeals to individuals, community groups and the corporate sector for financial support and supplementary assistance, and through its Board determines the criteria for allocating resources and administers the distribution of the Trust Fund.


The Foundation therefore enables the community to join with the Sisters of the Good Samaritan in together expressing in practical ways to those in need, the continuing compassion of the Good Samaritan.
