PLEASE HELP!
We're in need of some equipment repair and expansion to help make our school safer and more secure. We're hoping to add security cameras to our campus and to fix and expand our PA system. Please help us do so by donating to the 2020 Good Shepherd Marathon. Father Marquard will ride or walk one mile for every $10 pledged toward his efforts. 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. Thank you for your support.

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.

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.
