Please join us in welcoming seminarian Brett Reggio to Jesus the Good Shepherd Catholic Church this summer!

Brett is studying at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, and we are grateful he will be spending the summer with our parish family. We look forward to getting to know him in the months ahead and ask our parish community to keep him in your prayers as he continues his journey toward the priesthood.

People today are increasingly intrigued not only by Catholicism itself, but also by seeing intelligent and thoughtful young adults taking the Catholic faith seriously and intentionally.

Join Fr. Peter Mangum and Dr. Cheryl White for an enjoyable and engaging evening of conversation, questions, and reflection - informal in atmosphere, yet thoughtful and substantial in content.

Possible topics may include: Miracles, saints, and relics (the latest research on the Shroud of Turin, our Shreveport Servants of God, Medjugorje), the intersection of science and faith, artificial intelligence and technology, historical foundations of the Catholic faith, and any of the deeper questions people carry about meaning, truth, purpose, suffering and hope.

Whether you are deeply committed, skeptical, searching, returning to the faith, or simply curious, you are welcome!

An exciting milestone for the Cause for Canonization of the Five Shreveport Martyrs!

Father Peter shares an update on the steps in the canonization process for these heroic priests who gave their lives serving the sick during the 1873 yellow fever epidemic in Shreveport. Their witness of courage, sacrifice, and charity continues to inspire our Diocese and beyond.

Our flock is always growing — and we are incredibly grateful! 🐑🤍

One of the greatest blessings at JGS is seeing so many young families and welcoming so many new little ones into our parish community! Every child is a cherished part of the JGS family from the very beginning.

If your family received a onesie for a new baby or while expecting this past year, we’d love to see your little lamb! Share a photo in the comments or email it to [email protected] so we can feature our growing parish family on social media.
