Clergy and Staff

	Very Reverend Gregory J. Nevlud, Pastor Father Greg is a native of South Texas, beginning his career as a priest in Victoria, Texas. He has been with Good Shepherd since 2006, and has been our pastor since June 1, 2009. Prior to joining Good Shepherd, he was the pastor of Notre Dame Church in Kerrville, Texas, the same parish where Monsignor Robbins once served as pastor. This year, our parish was honored as the "Best of the Metrocom". In response, Father Greg stated: "Through the religious education, the sacramental life of the church, social gatherings, and Sunday worship, I feel the joy of seeing how many people are committed to serving the community. I am thrilled that people recognize us as a community of God’s goodness; but even without this award, God has blessed us in a special way."
