Religious Ed News

August 12, 2026 / CL / News, Religious Ed

Good Shepherd Catholic Church is pleased to invite all children Pre-K/K through 7th grade to participate in its 2026-2027 Religious Education program. Children in Pre-K/K through 7th grade will begin sessions at 1:30-2:30 p.m. on Friday, September 18.

Registration forms are available near the parish office and will also be mailed to previously participating families.

Montrose Community Schools allows children to be bussed over to our church from the elementary and middle school on Fridays to learn about Jesus! This is a great privilege and arrangement to have with our public school system – Thank you Dr. Linden Moore!

If you have a child interested in receiving religious education formation, but they do not attend Montrose Community Schools, do not fear! We can work out option days for their learning. Last year, out of Montrose District children met on Sundays for their classes.

Children in 8th grade will meet on Sundays, beginning in October.

Something NEW: Prayer intercessors are being recruited! If you would like to pray for a group of children in one of our learning spaces September through May, please express your interest, or call the parish office. Once enough prayer intercessors are secured, a short meeting for them will take place in mid September.

Ways You Can Take Action

July 17, 2016 / CL / No Category

Please Urge the Senate to Approve the Conscience Protection Act!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ACTION! With voices all over Michigan and all over the country encouraging its passage, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Conscience Protection Act this week by a 245-182 bipartisan vote.  The measure allows for health care providers and payers to protect their rights in court should they be forced to participate in abortion.  Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York and Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, the respective chairs of the pro-life and religious liberty committees at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), applauded the vote and urged continued action as the bill moves forward to the U.S. Senate.  Please send a message to the senate now: http://www.micatholic.org/advocacy/catholic-advocacy-network/vv/?vvsrc=%2fCampaigns
Please Urge Congress to Approve the First Amendment Defense Act!
The First Amendment Defense Act (H.R. 2802, S. 1598) would bar the federal government from discriminating against individuals and organizations based upon their religious beliefs or moral convictions that marriage is the union of one man and one woman or that sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.  Please send a message now:  https://www.votervoice.net/USCCB/Campaigns/43794/Respond

Download our Parish App!

January 22, 2015 / CL / No Category

At Good Shepherd we are pursuing new opportunities to foster a stronger parish life and better engage the New Evangelization. As a part of these efforts we are happy to announce that Good Shepherd now has it’s own app for Apple and Android phones.

Our new app will allow us to send you useful and important messages throughout the week regarding our parish life and events, and allow you to reply to messages or RSVP for events.

There will be no need for parishioners with smart phones to remember to silence their phones before Mass. The app will send you a reminder to silence your phone 20 minutes before the Mass you select. Many more great features will be a help to all of us, such as, daily Mass readings, Catholic news, prayers and prayer reminders, quick access to online tithing, Confession reminders, and our weekly bulletin.

So, be sure to download the app by visiting myparishapp.com or searching for myparish on your phone’s app store, or text  APP to 55321 and stay connected with us all week long.

Once downloaded open the app and search for Good Shepherd Church 400 N. Saginaw St. click on that.  That’s it!
