If you do not have a parish family of your own, we invite you to join our parish family.
Good Shepherd Catholic Community is a catholic parish.
Catholic comes from the Greek meaning universal, international, or all-inclusive, and so, everyone is welcome here, no matter who you are, where you come from, your race, language or lifestyle, your age or income. Everyone is welcome here because we are all God’s family and this is his house

Sunday Collections

Thank you for your generous support of your parish. You can give your financial support  either by mailing your  contribution envelope to the parish office or by giving  electronically through WeShare
View list of second collections 
If you receive envelopes, please use them even if you do a monthly donation! It makes less work for the counters if your donation is in an envelope! If you don’t currently receive envelopes but would like them, please contact the office at 315-364-7197 or Robin.Driskel@dor.org. Online donations are even better because they are directly deposited so no need to “count “ them. If you would like more information about WeShare or need assistance setting it up, call the office!

The Hands of Christ
The Hands of Christ is a recognition program, sponsored by the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis, in which the Most Reverend Bishop Salvatore R. Matano affirms high school seniors of our parishes who have been the “Hands of Christ” in their churches, homes, schools and communities.
Seniors will be recognized at one of several diocesan recognition ceremonies in 2025. Ceremony details will be shared at a later date. For a nomination packet with complete details about the nomination process, helpful hints for conducting the nomination process, and a paper nomination form which can be used to assist in the parish nomination process, contact Deacon Gary DiLallo at gary.dilallo@dor.org The deadline to submit approved nominations is December 1, 2024.

Every First Sunday of the month we ask you to please take a
slip from the Fish Bowl, purchase the item or items and
bring them back to the church the next weekend. The items
will then be brought to our local food pantries in Union
Springs, Moravia, and the KFFP at SCCS.

Prayer

O Lord, help me know your will for me
Let your light shine in the depths of my heart
that I may know what you want me to do with my life.
Help me believe that you have a special plan for me.
Lord, I know I pass through this life only once;
help me decide how you want me to make a difference.
Like our Blessed Mother, give me the wisdom to hear your voice and the courage to answer your call.
Above all give me peace of mind and heart.
I offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
