PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. In green pastures you let me graze; to safe waters you lead me; you restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name. Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are by my side; your rod and staff give me courage.
You set a table before me as my enemies watch; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house o the Lord for years to come.
The Psalm 23 fund is an outreach ministry of Good Shepherd designed to assist the Catholic Church’s global efforts to care for those in need and to spread the gospel. The ministry will marshal parish resources (time, talent and treasure) to engage in this task.
Recently $15,000 was approved to re-open the St. Francis Seraph Soup Kitchen during the summer of 2009. Past projects have included natural disaster relief (Katrina, Tsunami, etc.), support for the Tanzania Millennium Project, funding for a Guatemalan school project and more.
Thanks to the generosity of the parishioners of Good Shepherd, the fund’s endowment has grown to over $325,000 in the summer of 2009. Parishioners can contribute to this fund by using the monthly pink envelope or by writing checks to “Good Shepherd Psalm 23” and leaving them in the office.
None of these worthwhile activities would be possible without the ongoing generosity of you, the parishioners of Good Shepherd. Thank you!
