About Us:
Good Shepherd Roman Catholic Parish is the spiritual home for more than 1,200 families in the Andover and its surrounding areas.
The Parish was first established in 1975 as a mission church of St. Joseph, in Newton, NJ. Bishop Frank Rodimer made the decision to establish a parish, and in 1979, he appointed Father Richard Steiger as its founding pastor.
Msgr. Martin McDonnell has served as pastor to this vibrant community since July 2011. In 2014, Fr. Martin led a group of parishioners in an effort to refurbish the inside and outside of the church building, just as the original parishioners had done almost 30 years prior. Some of the renovations inside the church were the expansion and remodeling of the sanctuary area and upgrading the sound system. Just as in previous times of need, the parishioners' financial generosity to the Diocesan Partners in Faith campaign enabled this project to be completed.
This parish thrives because of the faith of its people, their willingness to sacrifice for others and their participation in the life of the Church. We pray God continues to bless the Parish of Good Shepherd.
