The Good Shepherd Emergency Fund is a fund that helps people who have a legitimate need but are “falling between the cracks” and not able to receive assistance from other agencies. Assistance from the good Shepherd emergency Fund is available throughout the year. Parishioners and non-parishioners may benefit from this assistance. Funds are dispersed at the discretion of the pastor and the parish coordinator of social services.
To give a gift that keeps on giving has an appeal and benefit. The Parish Endowment Fund holds the principal amount with interest benefitting the parish on into the future. As Jesus is with us always until the end of the age, so in His manner this gift can continue as a source of support to the parish community for years and years to come.
This fund is used as a way of funding unanticipated and urgent pastoral needs, programs and services that arise during the course of the year but are not included in our regular operating budget for the year. Some of these items have included the installment of security systems at the entrances of our Catholic school campuses, purchase of computers to replace office and school computers, website development and the redoing of the school hall environment to accommodate the growth in our LifeTeen and Edge programs.
