On Sunday, May 1st at 4:00 p.m. Good Shepherd will host many of our Roman Catholic friends in the annual May Procession of the Living Rosary. This is an important liturgy for the Roman Church that we are pleased to be able to host. Parishioners from St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Devine Street, will participate in the Living Rosary, as will parishioners from Good Shepherd.

In addition, the Parish Choir of The Church of the Good Shepherd will sing Anglican Choral Evensong. Our Diocesan will then preside at the signal Anglo-Catholic liturgy of Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

We are particularly joyful that the guest homilist of this ecumenical worship experience is The Most Reverend Robert Baker, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of South Carolina.

A reception follows the liturgy. Yvonne Danford is coordinating the volunteers who will be helping with the reception.

Please make every effort to be a part of this significant ecumenical event.
