The Parish of the Good Shepherd was founded in 1896 and has served the people of Waban, Newton, and Greater Boston for over 125 years. Affectionately known as "the High Church of the western Suburbs," Good Shepherd preserves a style of worship that exudes much of the excellence and transcendence of music and liturgy in the Anglican tradition. We are the Episcopal Church in Waban, part of the Diocese of Massachusetts, the Episcopal Church, and the worldwide Anglican Communion. Good Shepherd is a church that values excellent music, preaching, Christian Education, and outreach. Whoever you are in life, and wherever you are in your spiritual journey, we welcome you to be a part of all that the Good Shepherd has to offer.
