Outreach & Resources

Our ministry partners in Bondeau, Haiti have been effected by the recent major earthquake to strike their region. Continue to keep them in your prayers. Please follow their news and recovery progress through the South Florida Haiti Project newsletter at the link below. 

Our Bishop has announced a diocesan wide appeal to raise funds to assist our brothers and sisters in Haiti. At Good Shepherd, we have already received a $5,000 anonymous donation toward the relief effort in Haiti. We are hoping to be able to match this gift and raise a minimum of $10,000 in support of the Bishop’s appeal. Please select Haiti Earthquake Relief from the drop down menu. Thank you for your generosity.

Fall Session begins Monday September 13, at 6:00 p.m. and meets weekly.

It hurts to lose someone you love. Find support through GriefShare. 

You don't have to go through the grieving process alone. 

It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.  

Learn more from this 2 minute video or contact our GriefShare Registrar, Beverley.
