Our Lady, Mother of the Church Page Two
Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ,
The Fourth Sunday of Easter leads us to discover our Risen Lord as a Good Shepherd. At the beginning of
the Easter Season, we were amazed at victory over death. In the following weeks, we focused on
Jesus leading us on the pastures of life. Where the victorious shepherd came, those who belong to
Him were also going. Jesus now meets, not only with a few disciples or even with a crowd gathered
in one place, He leads all faithful around the world who belong to Him as one flock. His salva-
tion is universal, not limited to one place, to one nation, to one generation, nor to people of one
culture. Apostles proclaimed this truth from the very beginning of the Church. We hear Peter’s
words in today first reading: “There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven
given to the human race by which we are to be saved.”
Jesus is the only shepherd leading to eternal life. He gave up his life as a ransom for us, and cares for the flock constantly.
His sheep know they belong to him; they recognize his voice; they follow him. Many times, listening to words of the
gospels or other Bible books, we have an experience similar to the disciples who realized: were not our hearts burn-
ing at listening to His words? There is some ability, some sensitivity in our hearts to recognize words of truth. When
we accept the truth, we accept Jesus himself.
Jesus cares for His flock and calls many people to help Him to care for His flock. Jesus is the only shepherd. Others
whom we call shepherds in the Church are to extend Jesus’ care. On the Fourth Easter Sunday called Good Shepherd’s
Sunday, we pray for special vocations in the Church. We pray for young people who can dedicate their whole life to
work with the Good Shepherd. In many areas of the world multiple vocations are a sign of vitality of the local
Church. We pray today for many new vocations, for young people who like Saint Peter, will accept such responsibility.
Peter was not perfect. What was important for Jesus when He asked Peter three times ‘do you love me?’ and finally
entrusted mission on him to ‘feed my sheep’ was Peter’s readiness to care about Jesus’ flock. We really need multiple
and good vocations at this time and at this place. Let us pray for those who are called to respond like Peter did:
‘Lord, you know I love you.’
This Sunday afternoon nineteen students from our Religious Education
Program will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. This is one of the
sacraments of Christian Initiation making us adults in faith, and this is
a sacrament which we receive once in our life. Once - it means that this
is a task for our whole life. Congratulations to our Confirmandi, their
families, catechists who dedicated a lot of time, love, and energy to
prepare our youth for this special Gift of the Holy Spirit, and to our
Religious Education Interim Committee: Sandy, Barb, and Pat, who
took care that none of the sheep would be lost.
Next Sunday, the first weekend of May we will restore our regular
schedule of Sunday Masses. i.e. our Masses will be celebrated again –
on Saturday at 5pm, and on Sunday at 9am & 11am. Limits of 100 people,
registration on the parish web, and streaming on-line remain in action.
In fact, for those who participate remotely in the Eucharist there also
will be the one more Mass since all our liturgies are available by
on-line streaming.

Mission Statement
We, the members of Our Lady, Mother of the
Church, are drawn together through baptism as a
part of the Body of Christ. We are a caring Catholic
community, working together as instruments through
which Jesus, our risen Lord and Head, continues
His mission. Linked to Christ as His Body, we believe
that the risen Jesus still proclaims God’s word, gives
thanks and praise, welcomes, nurtures, comforts
and reaches out to all people. Using the hands and
hearts of the members of the parish, with a growing
sense that each of us is gifted and has an important
part to play in our Parish, Church and World, we
renew our call:
to be a Parish diligent about Word and Eucharist,
the primary source of our nourishment and
spiritual growth...
to be “missioned” - sent forth in the person of
Jesus, to bring His Word and Eucharist to family,
friends, neighbors and workplace...
to reach out to the sick, the homebound, the per-
secuted, the lonely, the poor and the bereaved…
to find time to share laughter, joy, friendship, at times,
tears; and always to share the goodness of each other...
