GET INVOLVED AT GOOD SHEPHERD -
SHARING YOUR TIME AND TALENT
Check out our Guide to Volunteer OpportunitiesInternational Festival

Let your light shine before all so that they may see your good deeds and give glory to your Father in heaven."
--Matthew 5:16

“By giving of ourselves to others, we truly live.”
-–Ethel Percy Andrus

Why Get Involved?
We all want our lives to have meaning, a deeper purpose.  Despite many demands on our time, including job and family responsibilities, there remains a hunger to give back and make an impact beyond our individual lives.  Becoming involved in a parish ministry is a powerful way to give of yourself and make an impact on the lives of others.  Whether serving in a soup kitchen, sharing our faith with future generations, or applying your professional skills on a parish committee, there are countless ways to use your talents to further God’s kingdom right here in our local community.

Getting involved in a parish ministry is also a great way to make connections with other parishioners and find your niche.  In a parish as large as Good Shepherd, it is these smaller communities that truly make our parish feel like home.  Most importantly, getting involved in service offers a profound way to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, loving and serving others as we strive to love and serve our God.

How to Get Involved
There are hundreds of ways to share your time and talent at Good Shepherd!  We invite you to look through our parish Guide to Volunteer Opportunities, as well as the Get Involved links on this page, which include descriptions of our many parish ministries and the contact information for the coordinators. We encourage you to try out several parish ministries as you explore the best fit for you.

If you would like to get involved in a ministry but are unsure of where or how to get involved, contact your Co-Directors of Volunteer Development, Rosie Driscoll (rosie@gs-cc.org) and Cynthia Drury (cynthia@gs-cc.org) for help in discerning a good fit for you.
