Our Assisting Clergy

At Good Shepherd, we have been generously blessed with a number of assisting, or volunteer, clergy. While they have other vocations outside our local parish, we appreciate their willingness to serve and support our parish and broader communities.

Our Bishop & Diocese

Diocesean Bishops are the chief shepherds and leaders of their respective dioceses. This means that Bishop Todd carries the ultimate authority and shepherding over our parish and diocese, Churches for the Sake of Others. As chief shepherd, Bishop Todd plays a key role in the general oversight and governance of the Church—both in our diocese and in the broader province.
