Good Shepherd American Reformed Catholic Church

About this church

Good Shepherd American Reformed Catholic Church in Toms River, New Jersey, celebrates Mass on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. The parish describes itself as an independent Catholic church that is self-governing and self-supporting and not in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, while keeping the Mass, the Eucharist, the sacraments, the liturgical readings and the seasons of the church year. The Prayer of St. Francis is sung at every Mass, reflecting the parish's affection for Franciscan spirituality.

The church is located at 1890 Whitesville Road. The website carries a parish bulletin, recorded homilies, a music page and photo galleries from parish life, including Christmas parties, Mass on the Grass outdoor liturgies, a Blessing of the Backpacks and a Generations of Faith program. Past youth group projects, such as assembling blessing bags and a skee-ball tournament, are also documented. A Virtual Prayer Bowl lets people submit prayer intentions online, and new families can register with the parish through a form on the site. Weather or special events occasionally change the regular Mass schedule, so check the home page for the latest announcements before attending. The church can be reached by phone or through the contact form on its website.
