Good Shepherd would like to acknowledge some of our high school graduates for being a part of the
Music Ministry during their busy high school years. We want to express our thanks, wish them God’s blessings on their future endeavors and welcome them back anytime.
 

Grant Johnson attended Shawnee Mission Northwest where he decided to switch from trumpet to a more interesting instrument, the euphonium. Since his 5th grade year at Good Shepherd grade school, music has played a key role in his life. Grant played trumpet in the school band and at the school Masses. He joined the Rhythm of Christ group in his sophomore year and has filled the church with the sound of his euphonium. He will be a music education major at KU in the Fall where he will be in marching band and other concert bands. Grant says: “Being able to serve at Mass with music is an amazing opportunity and I hope to keep ROC in my life for years to come.”
