Good Shepherd recently issued the following announcement.

Parish news regarding COVID-19

“Dear Parishioners, It has been over a week since we have been able to celebrate Mass together as a parish family.  Despite the restrictions at this time, know that you are not alone. You are not left as orphans. Each of you is kept in prayer every day!

Dear Parishioners,

It has been over a week since we have been able to celebrate Mass together as parish family. Despite

the restrictions at this time, know that you are not alone. You are not left as orphans. Each of you is

kept in prayer every day!

The word “corona” is Latin for “crown.” While we are somewhat isolated at this time with the

“Corona”-virus, consider this our personal “Crown” of Thorns at this time. But, like Jesus, his Crown of

Thorns on Good Friday was later turned into a holy Crown, a Crown of Glory!

To remain close as parish family, I ask that each of you check our website often for updates. In our

March 29 bulletin are posted the Divine Mercy Chaplet and Litany of Trust. Please pray these daily at

3:00 pm. If that hour does not work for you, please pray these when you can. We ask that you also pray

the Rosary daily. To remain connected as parish family, praying the Rosary at the same time in our

homes can bring us together spiritually. If possible, pray the Rosary 8:00 am or 7:00 pm.

On Fridays, we ask you to pray the Stations of the Cross, at 8 pm, or any other time. A special set of

Stations is being posted on our parish website—a set that pertains specifically to what we are

currently experiencing. It was received from India.

This season and what we experience now, should fill us with the same hope and trust that early

Christians were filled with. These are not my words, but God’s. (Read Psalm 91). WE ARE NEVER

ALONE!

Be reminded that we continue with Adoration Tuesday through Saturday, Noon until 3 pm, and Sunday

morning, 9 am until Noon. I am available for Confessions during those hours. We ask that you go behind

the screen. Please call me if you have any needs at this time. 715-427-5259 or 715-905-0614.
