Today, on this Fourth Sunday of Easter, we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday, recalling Jesus’ promise to protect us from harm, to rescue us when we stray, and to guide us home at the end of the day. Ultimately, Jesus laid down His life for us, as He told His disciples that He would do. We come here with worries and concerns on our mind. We take comfort in knowing that Jesus, the Good Shepherd watches over us, providing comfort, protection, guidance, and above all—salvation.
The special second collection this weekend is to help support the medical and retirement expenses for the diocesan priests.
First Communion practice will be on Saturday, May 1st form 9:30 A.M.-10:30 A.M.
The second collection next weekend will be for the Catholic Home Mission Appeal.
