What is “Birthdays & Blessings?”

It’s sharing of joy, hope, fellowship, laughter, cake and ice cream! It’s celebrating the gift of birthdays and love with each other – that’s “Birthdays & Blessings!”

Homelessness is a complicated problem that involves real people who need to know that people care about them and that there is hope for a brighter future. When you are homeless, your birthday can come and go without acknowledgement from anyone. Unfortunately, more times than not, birthdays simply go unnoticed.

Each month Good Shepherd volunteers host a birthday party for the single women residents at UGM. A Birthday Party Kit is provided to the hosting team and the hosting team provides the drinks, cake, ice cream and goodies for goodie bags. There’s always a rowdy round of blackout bingo too! It’s so much fun!

Birthdays matter because people matter – so grab your friends and signup to host a party. Perfect for ministries, small church groups, staff, CRHP, and friends! These birthdays won’t go unnoticed! They're held the third Monday of each month from 6:15pm – 8:00pm at Union Gospel Mission in Fort Worth Sign up here or at Good Shepherd’s website. For more information, contact Teresa.

This year we celebrate 14 years of our covenant partnership with the Fray Casimiro Cypher Institute in Olancho our Honduras Mission partner. Through our partnership, the staff, students, families, and the community of the Institute were able to face many challenges presented during these past two years. Students were able to continue their studies with the extra technology equipment support we provided, and more than 90 students graduated last December. It is incredible to see how much our parish has positively affected the lives of so many students and their community.

During the weekend of May 21 & 22, we will conduct our Annual Appeal to continue the great work we are doing in the community. We are excited to have the Institute’s director, Mr. Wilson Romero, visit us again this year to bring us an update of all the projects we have been able to support thanks to your continuous donations and prayers. We will focus on the following goals for our Honduras Mission Program in the coming year:

Please prayerfully consider making a donation to support our Honduras Mission Program. Your donations make a huge and positive difference in helping the students get an education that will provide them with skills needed to help them earn money to support themselves and their families. And please keep praying for our friends in Honduras as they do for us.

On behalf of the students, teachers, and staff at the Institute: THANK YOU!

The mission of The Respect Life Ministry of Good Shepherd Catholic Community is to support the Diocese of Fort Worth in encouraging all people to respect life from conception to natural death. We meet the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 6:45 pm to come together as a parish community to further the work of Christ's Gospel through our outreach to our larger community for all LIFE issues. We partner with local entities to respect life through programs and events throughout the year. "Every basic human right draws its authoritative force from the natural law, which confers it and attaches to it its respective duty. Hence, to claim one 's rights and ignore one 's duties, or only half fulfill them, is like building a house with one hand and tearing it down with the other.” ― Pope John XXIII

Holy Trinity Catholic School is a ministry of Good Shepherd. We serve a diverse group of students from pre-k through 8th grade in small, focused classrooms with a teacher to student ratio of 1 to 14, ensuring every student receives individualized attention and instruction. Our students consistently test at least one grade level higher than their age group and have a 97% rate of acceptance into some of the nation's top universities, such as Harvard, Notre Dame, Pepperdine, West Point, and the Naval Academy. In addition to the classical curriculum that Holy Trinity follows, we will also begin offering Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Nature Studies, and Latin in the 2022-23 school year.
