Happy Labor Day! 💪🏽🖇👩‍🌾 As you probably know, St. Joseph the Worker is the foster father of our Lord, and was a carpenter, and he serves as a great example to all workers. Through his labor, he was able to provide for the Holy Family, while also continuing to live out his faith and love both Mary and Christ. And so, may we pray that all workers may be given the opportunity to be like St. Joseph! 🤍

camp emmaus 2021 !!! welcome the good shepherd core team 2021-2022 🙌💙

Hi everyone. Follow our TikTok account. We will be posting soon !

Excited to see you all at mass!! 🥳 CHECK OUT RAFAS ARTICLE ON OUR MASS OBLIGATION AND THE LAST AIR BENDER — LINK IN BIO!! “Much like Aang we discover a source within the Mass that can change the world – God Himself dwelling within our very being!”

As Catholics, we have a responsibility to preach and to teach, to worship and to pray. We can be more supportive of the Black Catholic community by implementing church documents that address Racism, Evangelization and Catechesis, Liturgy and Pastoral Care. We can also educate ourselves on the history of Black Catholicism which, is not only the history of Black Catholics but also of our Catholic Church. Today on Juneteenth, take a moment to deepen your knowledge of the contributions made by the Black community to the Catholic Church and the challenges they faced and are still facing in the present day.  The Church documents mentioned above, along with many more, can be found posted on the diocesan website under African Ancestry Ministry.

Emmaus 2020: Day 6 - Leah reflects on the final week of Emmaus and her personal takeaways.

On day 5 of Emmaus, we were presented with an amazing talent show submitted by the youth! From spoken word to unicycle riding, we witnessed the wondrous talents and beautiful abilities God has blessed us all with. Although some of us have yet to realize our own talents, we have grown to learn that each and every one of us has a special way we can help others. Whether by virtue of patience, artistry, or intelligence, we can use our unique superpowers to be the light to people around us. You can support others by uplifting their strengths so that they too can see their powerful place in this world.

Emmaus 2020: Day 4 • Joely talks about how God’s gift of free will changes how we interact with the world and others.

Justice and service core team member Rollen describes his experience and thoughts about the activities that happened during camp!

✞ Introducing our new Core Team Officers for 2020-2021! ✨

here’s some of our good shepherd families, happy mother’s day! praying for everyone to stay safe & healthy! 🌿💫

~ LET THE LORD GUIDE YOU~ Through all of the difficulties and rough times, the Lord will be with us every step of the way. It is easy to doubt God when things go south, but the Lord knows the desires of our hearts and will take care of them. We can always turn to Our Father, and we must trust in him to guide us along our journey of faith.

Out of caution, the men's retreat, youth group, and vocations workshop are cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please stay safe God bless!

~DON’T HOLD GRUDGES~ Repent and God will forgive you, regardless of how much you sin! God’s forgiveness has no end, and we should extend our forgiveness to those who may have hurt us. We are God’s children. We are brothers and sisters. There’s nothing that can’t be forgiven out of our love for one another and God. Forgive like our Father.

Another successful coffee cart ! Thank you to those who showed up :)

~YOU ARE LOVED~ God’s love for us is beyond any failures or disappointments that might happen to you! It is easy to feel alone sometimes. Letting setbacks push you into a mindset of self-doubt can lead you to thinking that - just maybe - nobody cares about you. That you are not worthy of anyone’s love. God sent his own Son to die for us out of his love for us. You may think that no one loves you at times, but know that God’s love for you is endless!

Confirmation students and elementary school students exchange prayers ♥️🥰

Con Class saint posters! Saints live life with Christ in the center. You can too! Who is your favorite saint?

Thank you to everyone who came out to the annual all night party, and we hope to see y’all next year!

At Camp Emmaus, our core team learned how to carry out our faith through living justice and proclaiming faith. By showing mercy to others and being kind just like how God does for you, you can spread His love to those who may need it most. ✨ Welcome this year’s rookies & vets!

EMMAUS 2019 !!

Welcome to the GSYM Instagram! This page will be run by our social media team (formally newsletter), we’ll be posting updates and highlights from our youth events! Hope to see you soon ✌🏽
