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. Direction to the Parish are found in the yellow box below and to the right. 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.

This year they are doing Rutter’s Magnificat for the classical portion and selections from Broadway’s Les Miserables and Jekyll & Hyde. Tickets are just $15.00 and veterans and active service members are free. Go to their website www.sccchorale.com for more information.
"Soupas do Espirito Santo"
Sunday, May 27th, is the feast of Pentecost. On that day we will have the traditional "soupas do Espirito Santo" in our hall following the 11:30am Mass. This begins with soup, and is followed by meat and bread with much bread. There are no tickets for the "Soupas" since it is free.
Prayers for the Coming of the Holy Spirit
Leading up to the feast of Pentecost, we will have prayers to the Holy Spirit and Mary in our Hall at 6:30pm. The prayers will be bilingual. Join us to pray that the Spirit will renew the Church.
