Good Shepherd Sunday:
A Word from Our Faith Formation Team
During this quarantine, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd has been instrumental in helping my family live and enter into the liturgy at home, our little domestic church. From “un-burying our Alleluias” on Easter Sunday, to watching our son do the epiclesis while following the Mass with Bishop Barron on TV, I continue to see the Lord's goodness and care for us!
