Dear Good People of Good Shepherd:
We invite you to use this page as a resource for your discernment, as you explore and pray over the ways you can use your unique talents and gifts to contribute to our parish household. Whether you give a lot or a little; and whether you share your time, treasure, or talent; please know you are a welcomed and vital member of our parish family. Any way you share of yourself fortifies and builds up our house for years to come.
We stand beside Fr. Mike, Fr. John Mark, Fr. Zack, and the rest of our parish leadership to support you in your journey to be and make disciples of Jesus Christ in our community. We pray that you are inspired this Lenten season to deepen your engagement in our beloved parish household.
Your Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

NOV. 2024 - As we enter this season of gratitude, we invite you to join us as we launch our parish "Grateful Hearts, Visible Gifts" initiative. This initiative encourages our parish community to express their thankfulness for God's blessings through visible offertory giving.
Why Visible Offertory Giving?
Giving in a visible way—through household envelopes, online donations, or with cash in our new Gratitude Envelopes—not only demonstrates our gratitude but also helps strengthen our parish.
Every offertory contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact on our community and mission. Visible offertory giving allows us to thank you properly and to better understand the giving profile of our parish.
As of November 2024, 65 percent of our parishioners are giving visibly. We encourage those who are currently giving anonymously to the offertory to give in a trackable way - and for those who are not yet giving to give back to your parish home with a grateful heart.
THREE WAYS TO GIVE TO THE OFFERTORY:
- Online: Easily make your contributions through Faith Direct at the link here.
- Cash Donations: Use a Gratitude Envelope provided in the Narthex to place cash in the offertory basket.
- Check: Place your check with or without your household’s envelope in the offertory basket.
Every gift, no matter the size, is valuable when given with a grateful heart.
Thank you for your continued generosity and support of our parish! Together, let’s grow in faith and gratitude.
