Ministry is an expression of your gratitute for your unique gifts and talents.
As a missionary disciple, your ministry . . .
• Prompts meaningful encounters with Christ as you become Christ to others
• Allows you to accompany others and be accompanied yourself as you journey forward in faith
• Fosters true hospitality and stewardship in outreach to all facets of our community
• Sends you out into the world in response to your baptismal call, building up the Kingdom of God
The various ministries of Good Shepherd Catholic Church provide you with a wide variety of ways of connecting with the community. Through these ministries you can learn and grow as an individual, meet others who share your values, and reach out to serve the larger parish and city.

Stewardship - a Way of Living
Gracious Lord,
Let your goodness reveal itself to us, that we, made in your image, may conform ourselves to it. We cannot imagine your majesty, power and wonder on our own; nor is it fitting for us to try. But your kindness and mercy reach from the heavens, through the clouds, to the earth below to show us the fruits of your Incarnation.
You have come to us as a small child, but you have brought us the greatest of all gifts, the gift of your eternal love. Caress us with your tiny hands, embrace us with your tiny arms, and soften our hearts with your tender voice so that we might respond as humble stewards of your active presence in the world. We pray this through Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen.
