Our session is scheduled for Sunday, October 18th at St. Ann in the parish hall. The session is from noon to 2:00PM. A light lunch will be available starting at 11:30. Details will be found in upcoming bulletins.

Summer Service Trip 2016

Want to have an amazing experience next summer? Good Shepherd is going to Pittsburgh, PA to serve as part of a Catholic Heart Work Camp, a national organization that organizes service programs and helps young people connect to their faith. We’ll spend a week serving those in need while meeting young people from across the country. High school and middle school aged youth (from 7th grade up) are invited to come. If you’re interested or want to learn more, email Tom Jackson (tjackson@goodshepherdwayland.org)

Your Help is Needed in Passing on the Faith

We are still in need of a catechist to teach our

first grade class in our

Sunday morning religious education classes.

The class meets two times per month

from October through April.

Training and easy to follow teacher texts are provided.

Please contact Sue Muldoon @ smuldoon@goodshepherdwayland.org

We are also in need of

Middle School classroom assistants.

These classes meet Tuesday or Wednesday evenings

2-3 evenings a month

from October to March (6:30pm-8pm).

Classes will be led by a catechist with material and activities, just being a prayerful presence

and an extra adult is what we are looking for.

Please contact Kelly McPherson @ kmcpherson@goodshepherdwayland.org

You do not need to have

a child in the program to help out!
