Jesus gave to Fr. Carter a mission May 31,1994
to send the Priestly Newsletter to all the priests
in the world.We began sending the first Priestly Newsletterto all the priests in the United States July 31, 1994 -first issue.Soon we were sending the Newsletter to somany countries and 75,000 priests in Englishand Spanish - edited by Fr. Edward Carter S.J.This was sent every other month untilhis death December 18, 2000.The image of Mary appeared on the buildingDecember 17, 1996 and immediately we began circulatingthe prayer manual from Clearwater, Floridapraying for the priests, the Church, and the world.We have circulated the Priestly Newsletter nowfor 13 years in some form yearly -The prayers of the prayer manual wereimmediately translated in 6 languageswith the Imprimatur and we have had theseprayer chapters - praying for the priests,the Church and the world for 13 years now.Our primary purpose in the Shepherds of Christ isto circulate the Priestly Newsletter, our
co-equal purpose to begin prayerchapters praying for the priests, the Church,
and the world.Fr. Carter circulated 33 Priestly Newsletters
to his death December 18, 2000 - about 1/2 ofthese were translated in Spanish.After his death I circulated two 20 page
Priestly Newsletters to about 95,000 priests in 2001
with his writing on grace and Fr. Carter's writing
about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.In 2002 we had compiled3 years 1996-1999 Priestly Newsletters
as Fr. Carter directed before his death into the
Priestly Newsletter Book 2 and we circulated it
with the prayer manual to 95,000 priests inthe world.We then continued circulating thewritings of Fr. Carter in the Priestly Newsletter
with the booklet Fr. Carter's synopsis on the spiritual life
in the Spirituality Handbook he compiled when living and
we sent the prayer manual and Spiritual Bouquets
for their Priestly Ministry.
Then we circulated a special edition with the
writings of Pope John Paul IIedited by a Jesuit theologian on the 25thanniversary of Pope John Paul II's years as pope.In 2005 immediately after Pope JohnPaul II's death we circulated a largePriestly Newsletter again on Mary and the Eucharistwritings predominantly by Pope John Paul IIedited by the same Jesuit theologian.In 2006 Fr. John J Pasquini becamethe editor of the Priestly Newsletterand still is 2007 - we circulated HisPriestly Newsletters and Prayer books
and his other book Light, Happiness and Peace -
a special writing on the spiritual life.The Newsletter is the voice of theGood Shepherd with the scripture,Pope's writings, Prominent theologians,wisdom of the saints, and Fr. John J. Pasquini's worksand sometimes Fr. Tom Euteneuer's writings.We believe in sending the Priestly Newsletter
we are encouraging our priests witha paper rooted in the vision of the Father's Plan.In a world that has much tainted vision we send
the voice of the Good Shepherd to uplift and love our priests.
We are also helping to bring to completion the mission Mary began at Fatima in trying to spread the devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart to help bring about this great era of love and peace she promised when she appeared at Fatima.In spreading devotion to the Eucharist and the devotion to the two Hearts we help the members of the body of Christ to be more one deeply united in greater holiness in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.In the 13th year of this Newsletter we send this Newsletter on the 13th in the year of the 90th anniversary of Our Lady's visits at Fatima.We send the Newsletter from our church in China, Indiana where we have prayed before the Eucharist for 10 years and sent the Priestly Newsletter around the world from there these past 10 years.Also we pray now 24 hours a day and have for several years.We were given the Church from the Archdiocese for a very small price for this work and also given the permission recently for the Eucharist to be perpetually exposed so we can pray 24 hours a day before the exposed Eucharist for this mission and for the priests, the Church and the world.We are a family, a network of prayer chapters -we live our lives in this vocation praying for the priests, the Church and the world.We have servants and handmaids dedicated to this at our two centers.They take a promise of obedience and chastity and give their lives to this mission living in community at the centers.This was begun by Fr. Edward Carter about 10 years ago.We have about 15 full time members like this.We have Apostles of the Sacred Heart who devote their lives solely to the purpose of the Shepherds of Christ.These people together make up about 100 people who live the Shepherds of Christ way of lifegoing to daily Massdoing one hour or more of adoration before the Blessed Sacramentpraying the Shepherds of Christ prayers, the Holy Spirit Novena and the rosary dailypraying the Morning Offering and spreading it to schools Churches and allWe have a very defined prayer life and have since the beginning of the Shepherds of Christ 13 years ago.Fr. Carter was the spiritual director during this time.I am co-founder of this movement - my name is Rita Ring.John Weickert is President and has been since 1996 - 11 years ago.We have other levels of commitment for people all over the world.Associates form the network for prayer chapters and live some of this way of life in varying degrees.Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus - they are devoted to spending 2 hours a week before the tabernacle praying the prayers and the rosaryPrayer Apostles who are any one who prays at home in Church most of the day for the Shepherds of Christ.We have many ministriesthe school rosary program - we supply 200,000 rosaries homemade to the schools yearly and have for so many years - this ministry stared in 1995The Nursing Home MinistryConsecration of homes, schools etc. - also in different languages with the ImprimaturPrison MinistryJunior Shepherds of ChristDaily Message4 day retreat monthly in China, Indiana - with Mass and exposed EucharistDay of prayer every 5th Clearwater, FloridaRadio - 24 hoursdaily prayers internet - 6:20Books, tapes, coloring books, so much spiritual material compiled over 13 years and published
