Our Mission
The Church of the Good Shepherd is a community gathered by God through Jesus Christ to witness to the presence of God in our lives, to teach and to learn the Good News of Jesus Christ, and to care for others in and out of this church.
Dear People of God,

The Rev. Deacon Jonathan Ross and Chelsea Ross have invited our diocesan household to a communal Celebration of Life for their daughters, Oliviah and Rylin.

Jonathan and Chelsea invite us to gather with them at:

The Celebration of Life, Saturday, August 15th, 10 AM,
at the gymnasium of the Hazen Union High School, Hardwick, Vermont.

Bishop Shannon will be speaking at the Celebration. The Service will be followed by children’s activities and food, family-friendly, and families are very welcome.

Our prayers continue for Jonathan, Chelsea, and their family.

Grace and Peace,

The Rev. Canon Susan Ohlidal
Canon to the Ordinary

Also, donations can be made to the Rev. Jonathan Ross Family Fund on the diocesan website. Additionally, checks may be sent to the diocesan office at 5 Rock Point Road. All checks should be made out to The Episcopal Diocese of Vermont with ‘Rev. Jonathan Ross Family Fund’ on the memo line.

100% of all donations will go to Jonathan and Chelsea, and no donation is too small.

Please continue praying for Jonathan, Chelsea, and all who love them. And please continue to pray for Oliviah and Rylin, whose lives have been so tragically cut short.
