The Church of the Good Shepherd is cared for by a very small group of local parishioners and in the tradition of the folks of the Mackenzie we know how to get things done. You are welcome to join us mowing, gardening, trimming, laying paths, shifting rocks with machinery, digging holes and building fences.
We do not receive any income other than that which is donated. Please help us keep the church open for visitors to this lovely place by contributing to the Donation Box when you visit. Thank you.
