OVER A CENTURY in SHELTON

For over one hundred years, the parish of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd has ministered to the people of Shelton and the surrounding communities.

​

It is a parish where some of its communicants have arrived in Shelton recently, and others whose forbearers were here at the founding of the city. It is a parish whose welcome is as wide as the front door, and it is eager to share the journey of Christ’s people.

"I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away–and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me..."
