2011 Annual Catholic Appeal
Divine Savior Target: $26,021.40
Amount Pledged: $27,975.00
Amount Paid Through 4/20/2011 $14,726.00
Balance $13,249.00
Many thanks for your faithful response to this yearly fund drive that does so much good for the Church of
Chicago and our sisters and brothers throughout our Archdiocese. A personal note of thanks and humble
appreciation for responding to my personal appeal to meet our parish goal set by the diocese. For the first
time ever we did it! It made me proud and honored to be your pastor, for a parish of people that care for the
needs of the Church beyond oneself, especially those who struggle. Many, many thanks for your goodness
and support.
Now this means that anything pledged and collected over our goal is returned to us. If all who pledged honor
their commitments that means already we keep almost $2,000 and there is still time to pledge and the
diocese will still accept additional gifts to the Appeal. So there is always the chance that additional monies
will be returned to us. Now we must make sure to honor those pledges and redeem them with payments to
meet our goal. We’re grateful for all the ways you are faithful stewards in so many ways.
With Thanks and Appreciation…..

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Acts 2:14a, 36-41 / 1 Pt 2:20b-25 / Jn 10:1-10
The power of a familiar voice over the phone amazes me.
When my four-year-old nephew calls “Hi, Shaw!” (his
nickname for me) over the phone, the very timbre of his
voice melts my heart.
Since my husband and I know each other’s voices, it
takes me by surprise—in a good way—when he called
me by name over the phone instead of saying “Hey,
you,” or “Hi, sweetie.”
Even though I’m an adult, my mother can still tell if I’m
sad, angry, or worried just by how I say hello.
The sound of a loved one’s voice can be almost as
reassuring as the sight of that person next to you.
On this Good Shepherd Sunday, John’s Gospel
emphasizes the importance of the shepherd’s voice. In
Jesus’ day, multiple flocks often inhabited one sheepfold,
so it was key that each sheep become accustomed to its
own shepherd’s voice.
In this passage, Jesus is referring to himself as the good
shepherd, the one who knows and calls each of us by
name, But are we familiar with Jesus’ voice? Is his voice
as recognizable as our spouse’s, our child’s, our
grandparent’s?
To become more familiar with Jesus’ voice, we must take
the necessary time to listen to Jesus’ voice in prayer. We
should use it well.
But some of us have only snatches of time—brushing our
teeth, waiting in the doctor’s office, or taking a shower.
All those are timely moments we can use to listen to
Jesus, who is always speaking to us in love.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
Blessed are they who place themselves in the hands of
Jesus. He will place himself in their hands.
--Anonymous
He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross,
so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness.
-- 1 Peter 2:24a
Every person can tell how many goats or sheep one
possesses, but not how many friends.--Cicero
