A community of disciples

Called, formed & sent

We have been serving the Congress Park neighborhood for over one hundred years and currently celebrate mass in our third Church, dedicated in 1953. We seek to help each other and all whom we serve to hear God’s voice in the midst of our world. We are dedicated to the formation of our parishioners, no matter what age or walk of life, so that God’s Word may grow in our lives. Formed by God’s Word and touched by God’s love, we also seek to bring that love to our world. We invite you to join us today at the corner of 7th St. and Elizabeth St., our parish home.

“He took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel around his waist.… So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” -John 13: 1-15

Today we enter into the sacred beauty of Holy Thursday. In the washing of the feet, we witness a love that kneels low to serve. A love that reminds us that true leadership begins with humility. In the gift of the priesthood, we celebrate those who continue Christ’s mission, bringing His presence to us through the sacraments. And at the Last Supper, Jesus gives us everything: “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” May we live this call to serve, to love, and to remember Him in all we do.

? Hosanna in the highest ? Today on Palm Sunday, our Good Shepherd community gathered outside and entered the Church in procession, remembering Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. With palms in hand, we walked together in faith and reverence, beginning Holy Week as one body in Christ. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.

Lent begins this Wednesday! A fresh invitation to return to the Lord with your whole heart. Masses will be celebrated at 7am & 6pm on Ash Wednesday. Yes, Lent often gets reduced to “giving something up,” but it’s not a spiritual diet. It’s about drawing closer to God through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. ? Prayer: Make time for God in your day - come to Mass, visit the church for Adoration, or spend a few quiet minutes in silence. ? Fasting: On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, Catholics are called to fast and abstain. Even outside those days, fasting from food, social media, or other comforts helps us remember our dependence on God. ? Almsgiving: Give your time, attention, or resources to others. Small acts of love open the door to God. These practices echo the temptations Jesus faced in the desert and help us walk the path he walked. Join us as a parish this Lent: Evening of Mercy: Wednesdays 6:30–7:30 PM ( Adoration & Confession) Daily Mass: Mon–Sat 7:00 AM Fish Fry: Feb 27, Mar 6, 14, 27 (volunteers welcome!) Stations of the Cross: Fridays 5 PM & 7 PM Parish Day of Service: Fri, Mar 6 Lenten Penance Service: Tue, Mar 25, 6:30 PM Start simple: choose one way to pray, one thing to fast, and one way to give and let the Lord meet you there.

Meet Ana Salazar ― the new Administrative Assistant and Office Manager. When she is not answering phones or spinning in circles in her office chair, she is most likely out on a little adventure, marveling at God’s creation, getting lost on a hike, or geeking out about some new saint. Her current heavenly companions are St. Andre Bessette and St. Rafael Barron, who remind her of the beauty of being little in the hands of God. She loves painting, crafting, and feeding her coffee addiction (free coffee is always appreciated). She has loved getting to know the Good Shepherd Community and has been very grateful to have had such a warm welcome. She is excited to see how the Holy Spirit will continue to guide her during her time here and is excited to get be a part of the Good Shepherd Family!

Fr. Chris shares his gratitude for the warm hospitality he’s experienced at Good Shepherd since his arrival. After a long period of prayer, consultation, and discernment, he believes it is time for the parish to “prune” in order to grow. A recent attendance study showed that the 7:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Masses are under-attended, while overall weekend participation has grown. To strengthen community life and allow the pastor to be more present. Beginning the First Sunday of Advent (November 30–December 1, 2025), our new weekend Mass schedule will be: Saturday at 4PM Sunday at 8:30AM , 10:30AM , 5PM He acknowledges the sacrifice for those who love the early Mass and invites them to find a home at 8:30 a.m. The goal of this change is deeper communion, fuller pews, and more opportunities for parish fellowship. This Advent also brings expanded opportunities for Confession, a new Saturday daily Mass, and weekly Eucharistic Adoration — signs of renewal made possible by pruning. Saturday Daily Mass: 7:00 a.m. Confessions: Tuesday–Friday from 6:30–6:50 a.m. Saturday Confessions: 3:00–3:45 p.m. Sunday Confessions: 7:30 a.m. Wednesday Evening of Mercy (Adoration and Confessions): 6:30 p.m. Fr. Chris hopes Good Shepherd becomes a parish known for welcome, healing, and a true sense of homecoming each Sunday. He thanks parishioners for their faith, patience, and love, entrusting this new chapter to the Lord.

Pastor Corner with Fr. Chris This week’s trivia: What is the Cathedral of Rome? ? Most say St. Peter’s—but the true cathedral is the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran! ?️ Why? A cathedral isn’t about size or fame—it’s where the bishop’s official chair, the cathedra, resides. For the Pope, that’s the Lateran, the spiritual “mother” of all churches in the world. Fr. Chris reflects on its beauty, history, and what it means for us today: our churches are more than buildings—they’re sacred spaces where God dwells.

“Let yourself be loved.” Today we celebrate St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, a Carmelite saint who reminds us that the heart of our faith is love—first for God, then for others. Her life, though short, was a melody of prayer, joy, and intimate union with God. Even in suffering, she taught us to trust, to rejoice, and to let God’s love transform us from within.

Meet Stephen Sweeney — Director of Faith Formation, book enthusiast, liturgy lover, and proud Catholic dad who can usually be found with a good book in hand and a deeper question on his mind. Lifelong Good Shepherd parishioner and seminary librarian turned faith formation director, Stephen lives by the words of St. Ignatius of Loyola: “Go forth and set the world on fire.” He’s most excited to support children, families, and catechists on the path of discipleship — and to grow alongside the parish he’s loved for years. If you spot him at the cloister walk door or in the lunchroom during the school day, say hello (he probably knows your kid’s name already).

Today, on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we celebrate the triumph of Christ’s love through the Cross — not as a symbol of death, but of victory, mercy, and eternal life. We are deeply blessed to venerate a relic of the True Cross, officially sealed and stamped by the Vatican. A relic is a sacred object connected to a saint or, in this case, to Christ Himself — a tangible reminder of God’s presence and the Church’s rich history of faith. May the Cross be our hope, our strength, and our joy.

Mystic, monk, and master of words, St. Bernard walked the cloistered path with fire in his soul and honey on his tongue. Founder of monasteries, preacher of the Second Crusade, and voice of Mary’s praises — He called love “the ladder to heaven” and silence “the school of wisdom.” He popularized the Memorare, a heartfelt appeal to the Blessed Virgin, which has echoed through the centuries as a prayer of hope in distress. Today, we remember the Abbot who shaped a century with nothing but a pen, a prayer, and profound humility. Ora pro nobis, St. Bernard. Painting: Christ embracing Saint Bernard by Franscisi Ari Alta painted in 1625- 1627

Meet Natalie Thompson - Music Director ? Natalie Thompson’s favorite saint is Joan of Arc—because she’s proof that courage, faith, and a little bit of fire can change the world. When she’s not making heavenly music, she’s cooking up tasty meals, plotting her next travel adventure, cracking jokes on the improv stage, or hiking with her dog. Her mission? To keep serving the community through music and prayer. If you see her after Mass, be sure to say hello—bonus points if you bring coffee or a good pun.

Please drop off the gift cards in an envelope labeled “Society of St. Vincent de Paul” and the amount at the Parish Office.
