Welcome

Good Shepherd Parish was formed by Bishop Sean O’Malley on June 4, 2002 from the merger of Saint Patrick Parish, Our Lady of Angels Parish, and Blessed Sacrament Parish. We are a Parish of 1200 families  located in the South-end of Fall River. Our primary worship site is Saint Patrick’s Church, but we also have services at Our Lady of the Angels Chapel in the warm weather.    We are a bilingual Parish with Masses  in  English and Portuguese.  Saint Patrick’s Church was renovated in 2003 for the merger, and is fully handicapped accessible.   Those new to the Parish may want to view the page designed for them, "New Parishioners."  It contains an introduction to the parish,  and a link to our Parish registration form.  Finally, the slide show to your left gives a visual tour of the Church. If you want to watch the photos at your own pace or enlarge them,  move your cursor to the lower right corner of the slide show, click on the tri-color circle, and then on "Church slide show". This will bring you to the album in Picassa where the photos are stored where you can exercise more control over them.  Finally, there is a photo display of Blessed Sacrament Church, and a history of both Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady of the Angels under "About us".
