The Legion of Mary
The Legion of Mary prays a weekly Rosary for our Youth to be protected from secular influences (as requested by Father Edisson and being continued as an apostolic work). Please join us in this weekly Rosary either physically or spiritually. Rosary date, time, and location will be posted on Good Shepherd’s website ever Tuesday morning.
Prayer for our Youth
Heavenly Father, we gather today to offer this Rosary for the protection of our youth against secular influences, whether it be from social media, other people, or even from ourselves. We know that the devil likes to prey upon those who feel lonely, depressed, or overly anxious. We humbly ask for your graces with the intercession of Our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph that you aide us in this spiritual battle against all evil. Help us parents, especially, to preserve the innocence of our children. We pray that they continue to grow in their faith and love of you and to seek you out in times of trouble and confusion. We pray that they have the desire to spend time with you in Adoration for that closeness and for your everlasting love and mercy. Amen.
May Mary, our Blessed Mother, hold you dearly in her Immaculate Heart.
Contact Michael Provencher 910-728-1267 or Deborah Aberg 910-489-8336 for more information.

Parish Evangelization
Would you like to help build the parish? Help the parish grow by inviting someone you know who has fallen away from the church to come to Mass with you one weekend.
Or invite someone new who is not Catholic. God is always calling new people to him and asking us to live out our baptismal call. What better time since we hear so much negative publicity about God and church? We might not be able to bring God and prayer back into school and our government, but we can bring people into the church.
