The growing parish of Good Shepherd Church in Alexandria can look forward to new places to worship and pass along the Catholic faith in about a year, after breaking ground on a significant construction project.

“This is my Body, given for you” is the theme of this year’s Catechetical Sunday. These words remind us of how the Eucharist is the source and summit of our continuing formation in our faith...

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

Today’s Feast reminds us not to despair when we have a heavy cross to carry. With faith, see it as a way to unite yourself more closely to the sufferings of Jesus; to grow in holiness; and to rely on the strength God provides. By his holy cross, Christ has redeemed the world!

Happy Birthday to the Church!
"When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled...
there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit"
Acts 2:1-4

⁦@GoodShepherdCC⁩ parishioners’ donations of food remind us we cannot approach the table of the Lord to be fed by Jesus in the Eucharist unless we also feed our neighbors who are hungry for the food they need to feed themselves and their families! ⁦@CCDArlington⁩

"We begin our celebration...on this Holy Thursday - an occasion for us to really remember three important gifts that Jesus has given to us at the Last Supper: the gift of the Eucharist, the gift of the Priesthood, and the gift of His commandment to love one another." -Father Tom

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

At times, we can feel insignificant and even forgotten in this big world of ours. However, that will never be the case with the Lord, who reassures us: “I will never forget you.” Be sure never “to forget” to include him in every aspect of your life. He is gracious to all!

[GS Catholic Church @GoodShepherdCC]
