Good Shepherd Mission sits on the Colorado Plateau in the high desert of Northern New Mexico, in the Four Corners area of the Navajo Nation. We were initiated as a medical mission in the 1880's with the first hospital to the Navajo. Today, we have 50 acres with beautiful buildings, a large organic/permaculture garden, and a historic church. We offer regular church services, retreats and mission group lodging, many social services and the Hummingbird Cafe.

St. Joseph in Many Farms Arizona is a house church next to the red bluffs. Gardens grow and sheep and horses graze nearby. The traditional hogan is being outfitted to be the next Episcopal church in Navajoland! We are getting ready to put on a new roof and repair the inside, including a repair to the wood stove, shown in the picture below. If you would like to partner with St. Joseph, please give us a call. We would be so happy to have partners on this part of the Reservation and with St. Joseph.
