CURIOUS?
Would you like to know what our Church teaches
and believes? Luckily, the Church has the perfect
tool for searching adults – the Catechism. The U.S.
Bishops, like other Bishops around the world, have
prepared a version especially for the Church in the
United States. It has examples of faith life from the
history of the church in the United States, discussion questions and prayer. If you would like to
know how to explain our church to others, or just to
yourself, call Rene and Craig Brown, 725-5040.
We need curious, faith-filled men and women to
come explore our faith with us. This will run for
six weeks; and if interest warrants we can go forever. . . Come for every session or just drop in. Our
2nd session will be April 29, 7 p.m. at the Parish
Activity Center, Newburg Road, Fortuna. Bring
questions, your stories and faith, that’s all!
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
This Fourth Sunday of Easter is traditionally referred to
as "Good Shepherd Sunday." Today we listen to the
words of the Lord as he refers to himself as the "good
shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep." It is
sometimes so difficult for us to grasp the reality that
anyone would lay down his or her own life for the sake
of someone else. This is especially true in a society that
places high value on power and personal advancement,
often at the cost of "trampling" on other people in order
to climb the ladder. Today's scriptures point to the one
we are called to emulate--the one who lays down his
life for his sheep. Today's scriptures challenge us to discover ways to bring life to those around us--to build up
rather than to tear down.

ALTAR SERVER TRAINING
On Tuesday, April 28, at 7pm, Deacon
Tom Silva will be training altar servers at
St. Joseph Church. Any child who has
received his or her first communion or is
receiving it this year is eligible to serve.
“The altar server occupies a privileged
place in the liturgical celebration. The
altar server presents himself to a
community and
experiences
firsthand that Jesus
Christ is present and
active in every
liturgical act.”
-Pope John Paul II,
August 12, 2001
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Today the Church throughout the world prays for vocations. Will you make a special effort to ask the Lord for
more vocations to priesthood and religious life? Pray
for the priests who have ministered to you throughout
your life, both living and dead. Keep our parish priests
in your prayers throughout the week. Encourage your
children, grandchildren, or other young people to consider a vocation as a priest or religious brother or sister.
Pray a rosary for more young men and women in our
diocese to respond to God’s call. Join the Invisible
Monastery Pledge to pray for vocations at the international website, www.invisiblemonastery.com. It was
inspired by a Vatican document urging Catholics to
“organize an ‘invisible monastery’ in which many persons, day and night, are committed to continuous prayer for priestly vocations.”
