We Welcome You!

With arms open wide, we welcome you to our parish family!

The Catholic Community of Good Shepherd welcomes you!
Whether you’ve been away for a while, throughout the pandemic, are curious about Catholicism, or pray with us regularly, know that you’re always welcome.
Be assured of the prayers and support from our community as we gather for worship.

Good Shepherd Parish is comprised of four churches in western Cecil County, Maryland, and is part of the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, Delaware.  Our churches are Good Shepherd in Perryville, St. Teresa in Port Deposit, St. Agnes in  Rising Sun, and St. Patrick Chapel in Pilottown.


The 4pm Mass at Good Shepherd Church is live-streamed and recorded.  Go to Good Shepherd's Youtube channel.
 

A Prayer for the
People of Ukraine

God of Mercy,
We pray for Ukraine.
For all of humanity distorted by war.
For all the lives lost, homes seized,
and peace broken.

May the Spirit of comfort and compassion
envelop all who dwell in fear.
May the Spirit of wisdom and humility
enliven our global leaders.
May we affirm the dignity and rights of all.
May we seek peace.  Amen.

New Principal
 

We wish to thank our St. Vincent de Paul Society

for their dedication to their mission during the

pandemic. They worked tirelessly to distribute

food and maintain office hours, when resources were

scarce. Our parish is blessed to have such

hard-working folks assisting our neighbors!

Thank you all!
