Mardi Gras Flyer

The Good Shepherd Parish Community is pleased to announce the 32nd annual Mardi Gras Fundraiser on Saturday, February 26, 2022. Over the years, support from the church and community has increased, making this one of the premier social events in our community. 

Held at Monterey Station in Cowan, the evening starts at 6 p.m. with a cash bar. As you wander the Silent Auction room, bidding on items donated by local and regional businesses, you can enjoy reminiscing with old friends and make some new ones! At 6:30 p.m. you can enjoy a gourmet buffet featuring authentic traditional and non-traditional Cajun cuisine and decadent desserts. The Respectables Band and DJ, who were awarded “Best Live Band in the United States” in 2013 by Wedding Industry experts, will keep the music flowing from 7 p.m. until the last dance at 11 p.m. 

• Good Samaritan Ministries of Franklin County. Founded in 1983, the ecumenical ministry of nearly three dozen area churches, as well as civic organizations, charitable foundations and individual benefactors, provides emergency food, clothing, utility, and other assistance to our neighbors in need.

• The Linda Bauman Memorial Scholarship. Created in memory of Linda Bauman, an active member of Good Shepherd parish and Mardi Gras volunteer, who tragically lost her life in a plane crash in 2015. Her dedication to helping children discover their unique gifts and to serving others lives on through the scholarship fund that provides money to graduating high school seniors who reside in Franklin County and are pursuing a career in the medical field. To date there are 11 recipients.

• Good Shepherd Parish and Ministries. Continuing a 109 year history of service to others, proceeds from the Mardi Gras event help support the church and fund the many programs in the parish and local community.

• Honor Flight of Middle Tennessee. Added as a new beneficiary this year, Honor Flight is a nationwide program that takes local, eligible WWII, Korean, and Vietnam veterans on a no-cost trip to Washington, DC to visit their war memorials, view the changing of the guard ceremony at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and enjoy a dinner with their fellow veterans.
