All ladies of the parish are cordially invited to become active in The Good Shepherd Altar Society. The annual Harvest Dinner and Garage Sale are two of the ways the Altar Society provides support to pay for the Altar wine, hosts and candles. Other major projects have been the funding of the sun film for the windows in the church and helping to purchase new lights for the parking lot. We also lend financial support to the parish youth for their activities. Our members enjoy each other’s company in fun social activities as well. Meetings are held on the 4th Wednesday evening of the month at 7pm in the church parish hall. Please join us!
