NEW HYMNALS Good Shepherd Parish has replaced the Collegeville Hymnal with the Worship Hymnal. The Worship Hymnal includes the full Lectionary Readings for every Sunday in the Church Year, inclusive of the A, B and C cycles. Also included in the Worship Hymnal is the Order of Mass so we were able to dispose of the Mass cards in the pews. Most importantly, the Worship Hymnal contains many contemporary pieces of music not included in the Gather and Collegeville Hymnals. Copies of the Collegeville Hymnals are available in the main narthex of the church for parishioners to take one home. There is still an opportunity to memorialize our new Worship Hymnal. If you would like to make such a gift, please complete the form below. A list of the memorialized loved ones will be permanently displayed in the Parish Hall Lobby. A $20 donation per hymnal is an appropriate offering. Many choose these memorial opportunities to honor, acknowledge, remember, or celebrate a loved one, either living or deceased. Please detach and place the completed form with payment in the collection basket marked Hymnal Memorial. Forms may also be brought to the Parish Office.

What is it? Taize (pronounced taz-zay) adoration is adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in Church, prominently lit by beautiful candlelight and accompanied by songs from the French Taize community which through repeating a single verse or two, draw the human spirit into deeper communion with our Creator. Let Our Lord wrap you in His breathtaking presence with the sweet soothing sounds of gentle singing with organ accompaniment alternating with silence and spoken word from scripture. Come see for yourself! Spend an hour, or whatever time you can, in adoration in the Taize style before the Real Presence of Jesus Christ. Would you like a candle lit on the altar the night of adoration? Candles will be blessed before the adoration and will be available for pickup after the service or in the Parish Office the next week. Please place your Candle Order by February 7. If you are able, please include a free-will offering to cover the cost of the candles. Taize adoration is sponsored by the Legion of Mary.
