Welcome to the Good Shepherd
Catholic Church Nursery!
We are excited to have the opportunity to share in the growth and care of your child. We are
thankful for the time we have with your child and we will do everything possible to make it a positive and happy experience.
Our nursery is open on Sundays from 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM to accommodate our Sunday Masses. During Sunday Masses Parents/Guardians are expected to pick up their children immediately following the 10:15 AM & 12:00 PM Masses. Parents and guardians may leave a child in the nursery ONLY to attend Mass and religious gatherings, special events and adult faith formation classes. Our nursery runs in conjunction with our Good Shepherd calendar.
The purpose of the Good Shepherd nursery is to offer loving care to children, ages infant through 5 years of age, in order that their parents or guardians may attend Mass, Religious Formation programs,
and may participate more fully in the life of the parish.
Nursery services will be provided between the hours of 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM on all Sundays. See Annual Faith Formation Calendar for specific dates nursery services will be provided throughout the Formation year.
