Volunteering/Stewardship

Parish Maintenance/Volunteers
Lorna Kisoki is the volunteer coordinator for the parish. Please contact her at lorna@GoodShepherdCommunity.org if you can help with weekly cleaning or are available for other help.

Stewardship
This is your community! Good Shepherd is bottom up organization that relies on the laity to make decisions, manage the parish's affairs, and provide financial support. Your active participation is needed as our community transitions and grows.

Altar Society
Help is needed to help set up and take down before Masses on Sunday, and to help launder the linens used at Mass. Please see Brother Neil or sign up on Sunday.

Religious Communities In The Parish

The Grey Robe Monks of St. Benedict - Sacramento Priory

We are an ecumenical order following the Rule of St. Benedict. The Order was established as a monastery-without-walls in that the members engage in secular work, some have families, all live independently. As indicated by our Charter, the Order is open to women and men - single, married/partnered - who seek a deeper relationship with God as Creator, Savior, and Sanctifier. As a community we develop this deeper relationship by gathering for the liturgy of the hours - Opus Dei, lectio divina - prayerful meditation of biblical texts, study of the Rule of Benedict, and celebration of the Eucharist. We also engage in works of service to our worship communities and the secular community as well. The Grey Robes meet at 6:30 PM every Wednesday at: AtonementLutheranChurch, 9242 Kiefer Blvd., Sacrament, CA95826. For more information, please contact:
Bob Hart, OSB at: bob.osb@GoodShepherdCommunity.org or our website www.grosb.org.

The Ecumenical Order of Sts. Francis and Clare

The Ecumenical Order of Sts. Francis and Clare is a community of Franciscans in the Sacramento area. This new community is structured to include single and married/partnered members- both men and women. For more information about them or their upcoming gatherings, please contact Tony at friars@ClareAndFrancis.org or visit the website at: www.ClareAndFrancis.org
