Clergy Through transition

The Church of the Good Shepherd is grateful to the many priests who are helping us through the coming weeks, and to the Office of Transition at DioPA for their assistance in connecting us to them. There is a wonderful network of clergy in our diocese and beyond, who have been quick to offer their assistance. The weeks ahead offer a valuable opportunity for us to build ties with nearby clergy and their parishes.

Sunday Masses 

Fr. David Beresford has served as interim rector in churches across Pennsylvania and Delaware. Ordained in the Church of England, he has lived in the U.S. since 2015, and currently resides in Wilmington, DE.
