Good Shepherd Catholic Church Inclement Weather Policy
In order to help ensure the safety of our Parishioners, the Church and other facilities will be closed and religious education, groups, committees and clubs will not meet or use Parish facilities and grounds under the following conditions:
  • When Cumberland County is under eminent  threat of a Tropical Storm or Hurricane. 
    • The most common cause of death in our area from these storms is from people trying to drive through flooded areas.  As the rain is falling, please stay home.  When it clears, stay out of the flooded areas on roads and bridges!  We want to see you safe!
  • If there is a threat of ice on the roads or roads are covered with ice and/or snow.
    • Cumberland County lacks the ability to clear snow and ice from secondary roads and neighborhood streets.  Please stay home until it melts.  It usually won’t last more than 48 hours.
  • Electricity is out at the Church
    • We will notify you if there is a power outage at the Church through Social Media, the Parish app and Flocknote.  
  • The governor declares a state of emergency asking people to stay home in Cumberland County.
In all cases the Parish Staff will communicate over Social Media and Flocknote let the members of the parish know that we have closed and to let them know when we have opened the facilities back up for regular activities.

Email Scams / Text Message Scams

If you receive an email or text message stating it is from Father Arul Yagappan, IGNORE IT!!!  No one from the parish will contact you asking for money over email or texting.  These are scam emails and texts!!!!  With all emails, check the actual email address it comes from, not the one in the body of the email.  Never send money or information over these emails or text messages.  It is best not to open any attachments or website links in the messages as well.  JUST IGNORE THEM!!!!!
