Good Shepherd Catholic Church Inclement Weather Policy
In order to help ensure the safety of our Parishioners, the church buildings and facilities will be closed and religious education, ministries and groups will not meet or use parish facilities and grounds under the following conditions:
- When Cumberland County is under eminent threat of a Tropical Storm or Hurricane.
- The most common cause of death in our area from these storms is from people trying to drive through flooded areas. As the rain is falling, please stay home. When it clears, stay out of the flooded areas on roads and bridges! We want you to stay safe!
- If there is a threat of ice on the roads or roads are covered with ice and/or snow.
- Cumberland County lacks the ability to clear snow and ice from secondary roads and neighborhood streets. Please stay home until it melts. It usually won’t last more than 48 hours.
- Electricity is out onsite.
- The governor declares a state of emergency asking people to stay home in Cumberland County.
The Parish Staff will communicate over Social Media and Flocknote to let parishioners know when we have closed and when we have reopened for regular scheduled activities.
