      Good Shepherd is an Anglo-Catholic inner-city parish of the industrial Calumet region, thiry minutes from the Chicago Loop. It includes the former St. Luke's, Whiting, and St. Alban the Martyr, Indiana Harbor. English, Scottish, Welsh, Canadian, Hispanic, African Americans,Hungarians,  and many others have all played an active part.

 

      Daily Mass is the backbone of the parish. The altar and tabernacle are central. There has always been a strong liturgical devotion; the full rite of Holy Week, introduced after World War II, is the focus of each year. Seven stained glass windows witness to the use of all the sacraments.

 

      Change is no stranger here; East Chicago has the highest population density and greatest ethnic diversity in the state.  The church and mission house are open to the neighborhood every day. Enter. Rest. Pray.
