Reflections from the Pastor’s Desk

At the 10:30 Sunday Mass this weekend, we welcome His Eminence Séan Cardinal O’Malley, OFM Cap. to Good Shepherd Parish as we (at that Mass) celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday and ten years of unity at Good Shepherd Parish worshipping at Saint Ann’s and at Saint Zepherin’s churches. It took the great work of Parish Council members, Finance Council members, Staff and active parishioners to make two church communities come gracefully together as one. I particularly like the story of how the parish name came was chosen. Saint Ann Church and Saint Zepherin Church each have a large stained-glass window of Jesus the Good Shepherd. St. Zepherin’s window is located directly behind the altar. St. Ann’s window is located in the chapel area which is only one of stained-glass windows in that church. The parishioners themselves were presented a list of parish names and overwhelming choose the name Good Shepherd Parish.

I want to recognize Fr. James Laughlin, former Pastor and Administrator, for the tremendous amount of work he did in bringing the two churches together. He and Sister Roberta Rzeznik, SNDdeN truly shepherded the two communities into graceful unity. Because of Fr. Jim’s parish duties in Wellesley, he could not be with us today.

So, this Sunday let us celebrate with Cardinal Archbishop Séan the joy of ten years of Good Shepherd Parish in welcoming home the new, the lost and the disheartened to come together around the Lord’s Table.

In the Good Shepherd’s name,

Fr. Dave O’Leary
