Pictures of Parish Life
Baptisms and Christmations
Baptism and Chrismation are the entry into the life of the faith. We are baptized with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, then anointed with Chrism, the mark of the Holy Spirit.
Liturgical feasts
Our faith is celebratory, which can be witnessed in the Divine Liturgy, vigil, vespers, or other services that honor our Lord, the Mother of God, and the Saints.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based religious education program. Our children learn about Christ in a liturgical environment called an atrium. Please see these pictures to get a sense of how this curriculum "connects the mystery of the Child to the mystery of God."

Pig Roast and sQuare Dance
In the fall we enjoy the changing of the season with an all-day affair! The men start the pig at 4:30am. The parish family gathers midday for socializing. Then, vespers at 5pm, with dinner and square-dancing to follow!
Children's festival
Every year our parish connects with the children of our neighborhood by hosting a festival. There is music, popcorn, face-painting, small rides, and, of course, the renowned "Cake Walk."
chili cook-off
In the middle of the winter, we dedicate a coffee hour to the Chili Cook-off. Music, an array of homemade chili, and friendly competition make it a memorable event.
