FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
April 26, 2015
“I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These
also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there
will be one flock, one shepherd.” —John 10:16
Thank you to the many, many people who worked so hard during Lent, Holy Week, and Easter to make our liturgical celebrations so meaningful and beautiful: our priests, deacons, coordinators, facilitators, lectors, Eucharistic ministers, altar servers,
altar society, ushers, schedulers, petition writer and translator,
musicians and choirs, our school; Stations of the Cross and
Lenten dinner groups, RCIA teams, liturgy environment committee, ministry team, ministry center staff, maintenance staff;
Don and Diane Moss and San Joaquin Catholic Cemetery for
the donation of palms, individuals who came to help decorate,
clean palms, and vigil candle holders, Knights of Columbus,
Boy Scouts; Seniors for the donation of the new Paschal candle
and retrofitting of the Paschal candle stand, foot washing and
oil bearing volunteers, technology and lighting individuals, all
who donated toward the Easter flowers; and all who came to
worship our God in this sacred place. Thank you for your time
and generosity.
With much gratitude and prayer for your goodness,

Stockton Serra Club’s visit to St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park.
Serra International began in Seattle in 1935. Currently, there are over 19,000 members in 36 countries. In the United States there are over 300 clubs,
and in our diocese we have one in Stockton and one
in Modesto. The clubs are named after the soon to
be canonized Padre Junipero Serra who died in
1784.
The primary mission of Serra is to encourage and
support vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life. The club hopes to educate its members
and the Catholic community to affirm the priesthood and vowed religious life as positive and necessary lifestyles in our Church.
Recently, on the feast of St. Patrick, members of the
Stockton Club visited St. Patrick’s Seminary in
Menlo Park for evening Mass and celebration with
the students. Our diocese currently has 6 seminarians at different levels of formation. Deacon Cesar
Martinez in 4th theology will be ordained a priest
for ministry in our diocese on June 6th at the Cathedral of the Annunciation at 10am. All are welcome to attend.
Deacon Cesar Martinez
to be ordained June 6.
MINISTRIES, EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
ADULT FORMATION
Question of the Week/Pregunta de la Semana
Gospel: John 10:11–18
Adults: Who is shepherding me? Whom have I
shepherded?
Children: Who has been like a shepherd to me by
their example?
Evangelio: Juan 10, 11-18
Adultos: ¿Quién me guía? ¿Para quién he sido
guía?
Niños: ¿Quién ha obrado como pastor en mi vida
con su ejemplo?
STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
“I am the good shepherd...and I lay
down my life for the sheep…and they
will heed my voice.” - John 10:14-16
When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for things that
you want? Do you ever ask Jesus what He wants you
to do? How do you listen for the response? The answer is usually in “quiet whispers.” Take time in silent, daily prayer to hear His voice.

Monsignor’s Corner
The recent announcement that Pope Francis will canonize Blessed Junipero Serra during
his US visit has invited some comments, favorable and unfavorable. Fr. James Martin, S.J.
offers the following in the 2/23/15 edition of AMERICA magazine:
Father Serra was an indefatigable missionary, but also stands accused of approving some
of the excesses of Spanish colonialism.
• The saints did not lead perfect lives; they were human beings who sinned.
• Canonization does not mean that the Church is declaring that a person was perfect.
• Shall we evaluate yesterday’s actions using today’s moral calculus?
Perhaps the more helpful question is: What do we want to praise and emulate, as well as
avoid and condemn, when we meditate on the lives of canonized men and women?
Blessed/Saint Junipero Serra, pray for us.
Msgr. Larry
