Fourth Sunday of Easter
(Good Shepherd Sunday)
April 25, 2021
FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
(Good Shepherd Sunday)

The readings for the 4th Sunday in Easter (Good Shepherd Sunday) demonstrate that Jesus Christ cares for us as a shepherd cares for his flock.
 
First Reading: Acts 4:8-12
Peter explains to the elders that his healing of a cripple was done in the name of Jesus Christ. He reminds he elders that they crucified Jesus, but God rose him up so that all people could be saved in his name.
 
Second Reading: 1 John 3:1-2
John expresses amazement at the fact that God allowed us to be called his children. Although we are unsure exactly what we will be after this life, we do know that we will see God as he is and be like him.
 
Gospel: John 10:11-18
Jesus speaks of a shepherd working only for pay, with no real concern for the sheep being well cared for. But Jesus is our shepherd and would lay down his own life for all those in his flock. God loves him for his willingness to sacrifice himself for the sake of all God’s children.

National Nurses Week 2021
ATTENTION ALL NURSES, MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, MEDICAL AND LAB TECHNICIANS, NURSING ASSISTANTS … The Parish Nurse Ministry of Saint Dominic Church, cordially invites you on Sunday, May 2 for a special Mass at 10:30 AM.  
    Since the pandemic, honoring our nation’s nurses and all medical personnel, is more profoundly significant, which makes this month of recognition in May even more important.  Whether it is a national health emergency or routine daily care, nurses’ vital contributions impact the health and well-being of our communities. Annually, National Nurses Week begins on May 6 and ends on May 12, the birth of Florence Nightingale, the founder of nursing as a modern profession.
Every year, National Nurses week focuses attention on the diverse ways America’s nurses work to save lives and to improve the health of millions of individuals. The American Nurses Assocation’s (ANA) National Nurses Week 2021 theme is “Nurses Make a Difference.”  We welcome all healthcare professions and hope you can join us
We join World Health Organization (WHO) and global colleagues in extending the Year of the Nurse into 2021. This recognition builds on the increased visibility of nurses’ contributions from 2020 and American Nursing Association's (ANA) expansion of National Nurses Week to Nurses Month in May.
