Dear Parish Family:

As we observe Labor Day this Monday, it is a great opportunity for us to reflect on the gift and dignity of human work. Work, whether it be inside or outside the home, professional or volunteer, simple or complicated, is a gift from God. And how we do the work is our gift back to God. 

A million thanks to everyone who works so hard for our Parish and share their gifts and support. Our parish staff, ministries, organizations, committees, and volunteers labor tirelessly to serve God and His people. Your time, talent, and treasure are honored and appreciated. They are never taken for granted. Please know I will be praying in an extra special way for you this Labor Day with gratitude and love.

Labor Day is the unofficial end to summer when things get back to the normal routine and regular schedule. It is also a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. We have many opportunities to know and grow our faith here at Good Shepherd as together as a parish family. Look for a special mailing that will be coming to parishioners’ homes this week. 

Grace and peace!

Father Neil Sullivan
