We at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Russellville , are petitioning to the Bishop and diocese of Birmingham to keep Fr. Jim Hedderman at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Russellville and to allow him to continue his wonderful work here for as long as possible at our parish. Before his arrival here our Parrish was broken up into two followings. His presence here has been instrumental in reuniting our parish. Attendance at Mass is at an all time high and expansion projects are in their early planning stages. In addition to reuniting our church he has also made much needed progress in relations with other local churches and within the community. We are afraid that our Parrish and Mass attendance and the future of any expansions to our Parrish may suffer in his absence.

Father Jim has impacted my life in many ways. Because of Father Jim, my love for our awesome God has become so big. He is not only an amazing Priest, but an awesome friend. Please, I ask you to please don't let them take our Father Jimmy away! He is truly the reason why so many people go to the church. When he tells you that you can count on him, no doubt Father Jim is always there!! He makes sure you're okay, loved, and happy. Please don't don't take him away!!! much love, xo
