The Congregation of the Good Shepherd Sisters was founded by Saint Mary Euphrasia Pelletier (formerly known as Rose Virginie Pelletier) in Angers, France in 1835, when she broke away from OLC and formed a separate institute.

Angers had seen great changes since 1829, when Mother Euphrasia had come with five sisters to found the first convent.
In April 1835 Pope Gregory XVI granted approval of the mother-house at Angers for the institute known as Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd of Angers.

After Pope Leo XIII received several letters from Sister Mary of the Divine Heart, the countess of Droste zu Vischering and Mother Superior in the Convent of the Congregation of the Good Shepherd Sisters in Porto, Portugal, asking him to consecrate the entire world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, he commissioned a group of theologians to examine the petition on the basis of revelation and sacred tradition.
Since February to May 1894 she remained in the Portuguese capital, but soon she was appointed to her final position of Mother Superior of the Convent of the Good Shepherd Sisters in Porto.
