St. Dymphna Mental Health and Wellness Ministry is a grace-filled ministry of Good Shepherd parish dedicated to lessening the stigma associated with persons directly affected by, or caring for those facing mental health challenges through accompaniment, education and advocacy. Our ministry will offer mental wellness educational workshops and listening sessions aligning with Pope Leo XIV's emphasis on maintaining the treasure of human dignity channelling Christ's loving presence as beacons of hope, guiding lights, and vessels of God's healing grace.
