Good Shepherd is a vibrant Episcopal parish drawing members from
Newton and the western Boston metropolitan area. We celebrated our hundredth anniversary in 1996 (see our history) and have enjoyed steady growth in recent years. The worship of God is at the center of our life as a Christian community. For many years Good Shepherd has maintained a tradition of Anglo-Catholic worship and a high standard of music and liturgy with thoughtful, biblical preaching.
We include among our members people
of all types--liberals and conservatives, Low Church and High Church, firm believers and questioning seekers.
We try to be fully inclusive of women and men, young and old. In the last several years, Good Shepherd has had an active ministry to children and young people and has on staff a Director of Christian Education. The parish is also active in outreach projects, expending time, money and energy in the service of children, the homeless, and the hungry.
At the Parish of the Good Shepherd, we are looking forward with hope and faith to another century of worship, study, and service to God and to our parish family and the wider world.
Ministry of Healing
Following the Sunday morning worship services, parishioners may gather at the altar rail to be anointed (unction) by a priest for healing for themselves or for someone else. In the absence of a priest, a lay minister will be available for the laying on of hands. Persons may also request to meet privately with a priest for receiving the sacrament of unction.
