Core components of the SAM program include financial assistance for women undertaking tertiary studies, spiritual direction and mentoring.
Since their foundation and throughout their 168-year history, the Sisters of the Good Samaritan have been committed to the flourishing of women.
They have educated girls and women from pre-school to tertiary levels and have been engaged in adult education and adult faith formation.
The Sisters are now inviting applications for the sixth year of their SAM Program.
Program participant Simone Parianos from Ringer Soak in Western Australia said: “Being part of the SAM program has already been transformational. I had clear career aspirations but always thought they would unfold when the time was right. This program has made me realise that time is now.”
The program offers financial assistance to a maximum of $6000 per year for women undertaking tertiary studies at a recognised theological institution.
The grant can be spent on tuition or other expenses associated with the completion of the qualification.
A highlight of the program is a gathering at Glebe in Sydney, which explores scriptural foundations for leadership and leadership in the Good Samaritan Benedictine tradition.
Catholic women aged 30 years and over who are resident in Australia, Kiribati, the Philippines or Japan (countries where the Sisters of the Good Samaritan live and minister) are eligible to apply.
