Cookie Donations for Pet Blessing

September 26, 2023 / CL / News, Religious Ed

Dear Good Shepherd Friend —

We will have a St. Francis of Assisi Pet Blessing on Tuesday, Oct. 3, after the 6:30 p.m. Mass!

We are checking in with you to see if you’d be able to donate cookies for refreshments following the blessing.

Fr. Jon said farm animals are welcome, too.  Bring your own pets to be blessed!

Animals in cages or carriers can be left in the Family Life Center until after Mass. 

Cookie donations can be brought in on Monday during the day, or Tuesday during the day or at the Pet Blessing event! 

If it is nice outside we will put all cookies and refreshments on a picnic table! 

Thank you for your kindness, (share the news)

Dear Good Shepherd Religious Education Family:

 
Another year of growing in God’s love is around the corner! 
 
We are happy to invite your child to enroll in the Pre K-7 faith formation program at Good Shepherd. Last year, the parish offered its program during the school day from 1:30-2:30 p.m.  
 
We are grateful to our Superintendent Mr. Linden Moore and the Knights of Columbus for coordinating this opportunity for families.
 
This daytime format proved to be successful and embraced by many families. We are happy to follow this same format again for the 2023-2024 religious education year. Children will once again ride the bus to Good Shepherd Catholic Church and return back to school by bus.
 
The first faith formation class for Pre K-7 children is set for Tuesday, September 26. The parish is proud to provide a Montessori-inspired curriculum based on Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, which helps children fall in love with God at their own pace. 
 
Students in 8th grade preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation will begin classes on Sunday, Oct. 1. The sessions will be 9:45-11 a.m. in the youth room. The Sacrament of Confirmation will be held in April or May, 2024 – once the parish receives notice from the Office of the Bishop, families will be notified of the date.
 
This year, our parish is pleased to offer Half Day Hospitality at Good Shepherd on select half-days. Once a month, Good Shepherd will open the Family Life Center to K-7 children on select half-days from noon-4:30 p.m. The program will be staffed by caring adults. There will be stations for children to choose to visit — such as:
 
Homework Table
Snack Table
Art/Creative Table
Quiet Space/Reading Area
Outdoor Games
Acts of Service
Bead Making/Sewing Table
 
This FREE outreach program is open to any Montrose School District child. Permission slips are required and space is limited to 50 participants. The program is designed to reduce children going home to an empty house on half days, and provide a safe, fun environment based on the gift of hospitality.
 
For your convenience, registration forms are being mailed to your home. Forms can also be picked up at church or downloaded from the parish website. 
 
Attached to this post, you will find information on the Half-Day Hospitality, a permission slip, and the 2023-24 Religious Education Calendar!
 
Some interesting upcoming highlights include:
+ The First Ever Half-Day Hospitality at Good Shepherd on Wednesday, Sept. 13
+Parish Picnic on Sunday, Sept. 24 — Food, Eucharistic Miracles Display, games, face-painting, and Atrium tours!
+Pet and Farm Animal Blessing after Mass on Tuesday, October 3, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. (Keep animals outside, on trailers, on grass — small animals in carriers or cages can be left in the Family Life Center. Fr. will bless the animals outside!)
