MAKE FATHER GO FARTHER
Help our students and make Father Marquard sweat by donating to the 2020 Good Shepherd Marathon. He’ll ride or run one mile for every $10 pledged toward his efforts. Last year, you pledged 575 miles. He’s completed more than 1,250. So, you owe him! This year, his goal is 750 miles (that’s $7,500). To donate, send a check with the memo “Marquard Marathon 2020” to Good Shepherd or make a pledge online here. Be sure to add a note that says Marquard Marathon. Your generosity will help provide our students with great learning opportunities. Thank you for your support.

Program Information and Registration Materials are now available. 

FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP
As election season approaches, please make use of the resources provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The USCCB website has a section called Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship. There, you can read Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility, which provides a framework for Catholics in the United States. You can also find short guides exploring what it means to form our consciences, our call as Catholic citizens, and making moral choices and applying our principles. You might also read Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to American Catholics, which lays out our call to defend human life in the public square. Those of you who would like to go deep into the moral teaching of the Church might be interested in Veritatis Splendor (the Splendor of Truth), an encyclical letter from Pope John Paul II.

FAITH COMMUNITY SHARING: FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP
Click here to find out more about an opportunity to join fellow parishioners for four evenings of exploring and discussing the document Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship from the U.S. Bishops. These sessions are meant to help you better understand the role of faith in the public square and to help you continue to form your conscience in the light of the truth of Jesus Christ.

SUNDAY MASS: THE NEXT PHASE
We are moving to the next phase of our public Masses during time of pandemic. This will mean two changes that will take place beginning this weekend. First, we will be shifting from seating in every third row to seating in every other row. This will still allow for social distancing and will increase our capacity to about 140 people. Second, and for the time being, we will no longer require or request registration for our Sunday Masses. We will revert to registration if we run into capacity issues.
