LENTEN SMALL FAITH SHARING GROUPS

Small groups are a wonderful opportunity to understand your faith, deepen your relationship with God and find connection with others in our community. Consider joining a small group this Lenten season. We will be deepening our understanding of how the Scriptures connects with our lived experience. The topic for this season will be “With Jesus to the Cross.”

Groups are currently forming. There will be several time options to fit into your schedule. Sign up will be in person at the end of the Masses this weekend, Feb- ruary 8 and 9, by calling the parish office or online through the link on the parish web site.

Starting February 22nd, Good Shepherd Parish will be welcoming the Chaldean Catholic Community of New England in using our worship space. Bishop Reed asked if we could give them a place to worship. I spoke with the Finance Committee and the Parish Council, and both agreed this would be keeping with our parish goal of being a welcoming community. So once a month, they will celebrate their Chaldean rite liturgy in Saint Zepher- in’s church and have fellowship in the center. Folks will be coming from all over New England to attend this liturgy.

It is good to remember that there are 24 rites in the Catholic Church. The Latin or Roman rite makes up 98% of all Catholics worldwide. But, there are also 23 Eastern or Oriental churches that accept Pope Francis as their Pope. Some of the 23 rites are the following: Byzantine rite, Alexandrian rite, Syriac rite, Armenian rite, Maro- nite rite and Chaldean rite.

The Chaldean rite liturgy is celebrated in Syrian, Aramaic and some Arabic languages. People who celebrate the Chaldean rite liturgy come from Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria and Jor- dan.

Again, I am thrilled we as Good Shepherd Parish will be able to welcome our fellow Catholics who were searching for a place to worship.

Pax Christi,

Fr. Dave

7 Good Shepherd Parish Sunday, February 9, 2020 WHAT IS THE “NEW EVANGELIZATION” I KEEP HEARING ABOUT?

The New Evangelization is a term coined by Pope St. John Paul II citing the need to evange- lize societies who were once Catholic. In our Archdiocese in particular, it is reaching out to baptized Catholics to help light the fire of faith once again, or perhaps, for the first time. Both Pope Emeritus Benedict and Pope Francis have continued the call to the New Evangeli- zation as a renewal within the Church. Many of us know Catholics who have fallen away from the faith. The New Evangelization is a way of reaching out, one person at a time, and through our parish efforts, to invite home to the Church the members of our Catholic family who may be away from the Church or who may never have known what a real relationship with God can be like. Explore the plan, the process, resources, and much more at www.disciplesinmission.com

WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED AS WE CONTINUE WITH OUR DISCIPLES IN MISSION IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS. THANK YOU!
