Fourth Sunday of Easter
April 21, 2024
Good Shepherd Sunday
World Day of Prayer for Vocations
The 4th Sunday of Easter is traditionally called "Good Shepherd Sunday" because that is the theme of the Gospel. We hear an echo in this weekend's Psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd" (Ps. 23).
This Sunday's gospel speaks of how the sheep should act but it also shares some important lesson for shepherds, not just to church leaders but to anyone who holds the responsibility of caring for others. Their responsibility is to be like the Good Shepherd, who continues to call out, to protect and to lead them to the path of eternal life.
Since 1964, the Church has encouraged the faithful to include prayers for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life in the Prayers of the Faithful at Masses as well as speak on vocations through the homilies of priests. This 4th Sunday of Easter helps all of us to respond to God's call and to support in prayer all those who are discerning how to best respond to the needs of today in the vocation God calls them to be.
Pope Francis' Message
on the 61st World Day of Prayer for Vocations
"In this sense, the World Day of Prayer for Vocations has a synodal character: amid the variety of our charisms, we are called to listen to one another and to journey together in order to acknowledge them and to discern where the Spirit is leading us for the benefit of all.
At this point in time, then, our common journey is bringing us to the Jubilee Year of 2025. Let us travel as pilgrims of hope towards the Holy Year, for by discovering our own vocation and its place amid the different gifts bestowed by the Spirit, we can become for our world messengers and witnesses of Jesus’ dream of a single human family, united in God’s love and in the bond of charity, cooperation and fraternity.
This is, in the end, the goal of every vocation: to become men and women of hope. As individuals and as communities, amid the variety of charisms and ministries, all of us are called to embody and communicate the Gospel message of hope in a world marked by epochal challenges."
-Pope Francis, World Day of Prayer for Vocations, 2024

MISSIONARY COOPERATION PLAN @ SAC
Beneficiary - Diocese of Pasig
Next weekend, April 20 & 21, 2024
The Diocese of Pasig was canonically erected on August 21, 2003 with jurisdiction in the cities of Pasig and Taguig and the municipality of Pateros. It has 31 parishes, 1 quasi-parish, and 4 chaplaincies with more than 2.1 million total Catholic population. At present, the diocese is blessed with around 45 Diocesan Priests, 16 Religious Priests, and 64 Religious women serving in various ministries and apostolates. The four Pastoral Priorities of the Diocese are as follows: Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC), Deepening of Faith Formation, Responsible Stewardship, and Social Services.
The Diocese of Pasig is in need of financial assistance to support the endeavors for the poor in their BECs, evangelization of families and youth through integral faith formation, social services to those in the peripheries, and the health needs of the sick and retired clergy.
Let us support the Diocese of Pasig and respond to the call of the Missionary Cooperation Plan as Bishop Mylo Vergara, the bishop of the diocese, makes the appeal himself this weekend.

The CONFIRMATION of SAC's 46 Youth
Last Saturday, April 13, 2024
Bishop Mylo Vergara, Presider
April 13th, the day of the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation, was full of hope with the conferral of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to the 46 youth of SAC. We received a clear message that we have a future from these young people who were blessed and full of zeal to make a difference.
We continue to pray for them and accompany them in fulfilling what God desires them to be. We appreciate the many people who have been accompanying them in their faith formation, their parents, sponsors and the catechists.
Below is the link to the photos taken before, during and after the celebration of the Sacrament.
Thanks to Rachel Grecia for capturing these unforgettable moments in the lives of our newly confirmed and their families.
