A VISIT FROM THE BISHOP







Bishop Miguel Tamayo recently visited The Church of the Good Shepherd.





Bishop Tamayo led the service and brought the day's homily to the congregation.









Bishop Tamayo welcomes the newest member of El Buen Pastor into God's family.

















Parishioners filled the church as they welcomed Bishop Tamayo..






Iglesia del Buen Pastor (The Church of the Good Shepherd) holds a special place in the Bishop's heart.  Early in his career, Bishop Tamayo was the rector of a neighboring Bolondron church called Iglesia del San Pablo (St. Paul's Church).  At that time, El Buen Pastor was attached to San Pablo as a satellite church.  Through his association with San Pablo, the Bishop was also responsible for El Buen Pastor.  Church members warmly welcomed their former rector.
