Saints Among Us

One of the greatest treasures of the Catholic Church is the holiness of its members.  Among the members of the Catholic Church, there is a small and noble group of people that stand out as shining examples of holiness and goodness.  These are people who have given everything for the love of God and neighbor, have been tried in the fires of persecution and have made choices throughout their lives that were in union with the holy will of God.  These holy men and women are the canonized Catholic saints of the Roman Catholic Church.  It was the inspiration of Rev. Richard Eldredge, TOR, the first resident Pastor at Good Shepherd, to have each classroom/meeting room on this property named for a saint and marked with an image of him or her.  Good Shepherd also has fifteen tapestries in our church, highlighting some of the most extraordinary saints. The individual saints were chosen to edify and inspire us.  Below you will find links to short biographies of these Catholic saints that are depicted at Good Shepherd.  We hope their stories will inspire you to follow in the footsteps of the saints as disciples of Jesus!
