Wearing a Mask at Good Shepherd
To prevent severe illness and hospitalizations and to save one’s own live and other’s lives
The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners and The Public Health Director signed the abatement on Aug.26 which takes effect Friday, Aug.27 at 5p.m and the abatement states: “All persons within Cumberland County shall wear a face covering over the nose and mouth while in indoor spaces.”
Therefore, all the parishioners at Good Shepherd Catholic Church are encouraged to wear a mask while at Mass, unless health issues prevents you from wearing a mask. Extra masks will be available in the Gathering Area.
Thank you for your cooperation in this regard.
We pray that God may protect all our parishioners, our nation and the whole world from the COVID-19 pandemic.
