The Good Shepherd Society recognizes generous leadership in support of the Annual Catholic Appeal. An annual gift of $500 or more enrolls members in this new giving society, uniting faithful stewards who help advance the mission of the Catholic Diocese of Memphis across West Tennessee.
Inspired by Christ, the Good Shepherd, members serve as a strategic arm of the Annual Catholic Appeal, sustaining ministries that form disciples, care for the faithful, and extend Christ’s love beyond the walls of any one parish. As inaugural members, participants play a vital role in strengthening the life and mission of the Church—today and for generations to come.
