Parishioners
Welcome to our Community!
Picture
We invite you to register at the Church Office during office hours, pick up a Welcome Packet on the
Welcome Table in the Gathering Area or here by going to our Member Registration page.   
Though a rather simple act, registration is a sign of one’s commitment and responsibility to the parish and allows the parish to know how many families are registered in the parish. It also provides an official record of your active membership and is essential for participation in parish programs and sacraments.

What is an Active Membership: three points determine active membership:
• Registration in the parish for a sufficient period of time and use of the envelope system in support of
the parish;
• Faithful attendance at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days;
• Volunteer and participate in Parish activities with time, talent, and treasure as means permit.
Please note the Facilities and Services of Good Shepherd Church are available to active members.

Emergencies: In cases of emergency, please contact the Parish Office during regular business hours. After hours, please call Deacon Pat at (910) 818-0801.

SACRAMENTS
Anointing of the Sick: Call the Church Office (910) 425-1590
Marriage: Couples are asked not to set a date for their wedding until an initial meeting with the Pastor or Deacon.  Diocesan requirements mandate a minimum six-month period of preparation.
Baptism: Parental participation in a program to prepare parents is required. Contact Trisha Martin-Kamionka in the Office of Faith Formation, 910-425-5617, at least 3 months in advance of your desired baptismal date to make the proper arrangements.

Sick and Homebound/Hospitalized: Please notify the Parish Office when someone is ill and unable to attend Mass for any significant length of time and would like to receive Holy Communion.

Bulletin Deadline: Requests are due to Maria Rosario by 12 noon on the Monday prior to the weekend the announcement is to be published. E-mail your request to: gsbulletinedit@gmail.com.
