Today, Good Shepherd Sunday, is a special celebration of World Day of Prayer for Vocations. The world-wide Church honors all Christian vocations. We are called by name and offered a special gift of a Christian vocation. We pray that we are open to God’s call and ready to accept the gift. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is with us to guide and protect us on our life journey.

The weekend of April 26-27 we will be taking up a collection for the Catholic home Missions Appeal. This Appeal supports missions here in the United States. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal offers Catholics across our country a wonderful opportunity to help fellow Catholics practice their faith in such rugged areas as Alaska, Appalachia, the Deep South, the Rocky Mountain states, the Southwest, Puerto Rico, and island dioceses in the Pacific and Caribbean. This Appeal is a practical way for our parish to share its faith and resources with the mission Church here at home. Over 95 cents of every dollar donated to the Appeal goes directly to the missions to keep church doors open, to support pastors in their priestly ministry, and to provide basic pastoral services like religious education for children. Please give generously to assist fellow Catholics here in America. It’s one practical way our parish community can be good stewards of God’s gifts and make a difference.
