Good Shepherd Catholic Parish — Local services in Kendall

I’m so disappointed in this church. I received my communion from this church and returned today for the first time since 2021 for a Wednesday night mass. It has become a highly politicized church. It has lost its path to enlightenment, spirituality, and Christ.
