When We Need God’s Love Most

When do we need God’s love most? Of course we need that love every second of our

lives. But at times God’s love is especially precious to us, times when we lose a loved

one or when life becomes so confusing that we do not know where to turn. At times like

these, it is very important to have someone who cares. Our parish has trained 10 Stephen

Ministers, lay people who offer a ministry of Christian caring within our parish and

beyond.

EXTEND THE INVITATION

“Come and see” was the invitation Jesus offered to a few men of Galilee who were interested in knowing more about him – who he was, where he lived, what his teachings were about? This same invitation we extend to adults who have not been baptized or who have been baptized in another faith tradition but are interested in the Catholic faith or adults who have not received First Holy Communion or Confirmation. Please share this invitation with family members, neighbors or friends. Questions? Contact Fr Dave at FrDave@goodshepherdwayland.org or 508.650.3545.
