Sacramental Life

- Communion Calls and Hospital Visits:
  We do our best to make visits and take communion to parishioners when they are homebound or in the hospital. But we need your help to know when the need arises.
  If you are homebound or in the hospital and can’t attend Mass but would like to receive Holy Communion (or one of the other Sacraments), please contact the parish office or have a family member contact the office to arrange for a visit. Please note that hospitals do not automatically the parish when they have a Catholic patient.
  
  If there is a medical emergency and a priest is urgently needed for a sacrament, please call the office and follow the prompts for the emergency line.

- Do I Need an Annulment?
  
  Pamphlets that offer annulment information are available in the Gathering Area on the Formation kiosk.
  
  Good Shepherd Catholic Church has three Tribunal Advocates who can advocate for you with an annulment or questions you may have. If you prefer, you may contact our Lexington Diocese Tribunal Office for an advocate referral other than those at Good Shepherd, 859-253-1993. Please understand that Tribunal Advocates can responsibly work on only a few cases at a time.
  
  Personal information gained through an annulment is completely confidential, not shared with parish staff, and only privy to the Secretariat of Canonical Affairs and Tribunal Office.
