Good Shepherd Catholic Church Dedicates new Education Center!

Good Shepherd Catholic Church in South Hill, VA, dedicated its new Education Center after the 9:30 Mass this past Sunday, September 20, 2015. 

The expansion/renovation project completed the Phase 3 portion of its Master Plan and included the renovation of the original Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall Wing, constructed when the church was first established at this site. 

The renovated wing serves as classroom space with new accessible bathrooms for the church's Christian Education programs. Celebrants at the dedication service included the Vicar General from the Catholic Diocese of Richmond. 

A pancake breakfast followed the ceremony in the church's Social Hall. 

Christmas at Elk Hill

"My Christmas Wish is that everyone can celebrate Christmas with their family!" "Thank you Elk Hill for helping me change my life and be with my family this Christmas!" Youngsters  in the Elk Hill Farm programs and schools shared these wishes at the annual Christmas celebration held in the W. E. Singleton Chapel on December 18th.

As residents, students, faculty, staff, families, board members and friends gathered to celebrate the successes of the central Virginia institution that has helped so many youth throughout Virginia, " helping kids and families find courage"  had a special meaning.  A Christmas feast followed the Chapel  service in the Brown Dining Hall with a special visit from Santa, his elves and a Snow Queen on roller skates.
