Good Shepherd Becomes Holy Family "Partner Parish"

Good Shepherd Parish in Montgomery and Holy Family Parish are exploring becoming "partner parishes" or parishes that periodically get together from two very diverse areas of Cincinnati to share in special programs. They might invite Holy Family parishioners for a special event at their parish or we might invite them to an event at our parish, school or food pantry.  The ideas are still in the works.  It is not a formal partnership but an informal "friendship" which grows and changes over time.

Members of Good Shepherd attended Mass at Holy Family in March of 2017 and attended the Encuentro de Solidaridad activity afterward.  On May 24th, over 40 members of their 55+ group visited Holy Family for a tour of our beautiful church and a light lunch in our historic Gym Club Room.

We look forward to many more opportunities to share our faith with them.  Watch the calendar for more gatherings.  Look for the Category "Parish Partnerships."

Welcome Fr. Louis Okot

    Holy Family would like to welcome Fr. Louis Okot, a South Sudan Comboni Missionary, who was ordained to the priesthood on May 25, 1997.
After returning from Peru, his first mission land, he served 13 years in his country, South Sudan. And according to the tradition of his congregation, it was time for him to be assigned by the general administration to another mission or to remain to serve in his country. Still, then they discerned and decided that the USA would be his new mission. "And so here I am to continue willingly and passionately with my missionary life," Fr. Louis states.

    He joined the Comboni formation house right after finishing his senior year of secondary school to start his formation journey. The life witness of Fr. Sina sparked in him the flame to become a Comboni missionary. His lifestyle was a summary of the life of St. Daniel Comboni, the founder of the Comboni Missionaries: to be at the side of the poor and marginalized and to evangelize the most abundant as Jesus did. As the poor possessed the heart of St. Comboni, so did they possess his heart too. "I left everything to follow his path."Fr. Louis Okot Sates.

"I am here, as I am. I bring my faith and my missionary experience", Fr. Louis Okot states.
