Holy Family Counseling Center - Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd

I love when Father Roy is the Visiting Priest. He restores your faith in the Catholic church. We all can learn from Father Roy. We All Need a Father Roy in Our Life !!!

A great place to get your Jesus on! Wonderful atmosphere and the priests are terrific.

This Church is a huge disappointment solely due to the clergy assigned to the parish. None of the Priests can give a good and appropriate homily. Two Priests clearly "wing" most of their homilies. More than half the homilies follow a town hall type format with the Priest walking off the altar and asking questions closely resembling a "Phil Donahue" type show. The homilies ramble and rarely, and only peripherally, touch on the readings, much less the Gospel. One the primary Priests is so in love with his own voice that he sings during his homily, including once singing a song from West Side Story. Some of the Masses more closely resemble a Baptist service. It is hard to believe, or maybe disappointing, the Archdiocese has not conducted a review of the clergy of this Church. Given the population growth in the area, this is the only option for Catholics moving into the area. Catholics in this area deserve better than novice or cast-off Priests, not Priests who are wannabe Baptist preachers, comedians or American Idol contestants. I personally know fallen Catholics who have attended Mass here have not returned because of these shenanigans. Predictably, new resident Catholics will attend Mass here and not return. For the sake of growing number Catholics in this area, the Archiodecese needs to assign a senior, mature and serious Pastor(s) to this Church asap.
