PASTORAL LETTER FOR THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER VOCATIONS SUNDAY 2025
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you on this Fourth Sunday of Easter, traditionally known as Good Shepherd Sunday. Today's Gospel (John 10:11-18) gives us those deeply consoling words of Jesus: "I am the good shepherd... I know my own and my own know me."
In this Easter season and in our Jubilee Year of Hope, we hear those words not only with comfort but with conviction. We are reminded that every Christian life is born from the loving and personal call of the Shepherd who knows us by name and calls us to follow.

Catholics across the globe will unite in praying the Rosary for peace in war-torn lands, especially during this month, which the Church dedicates to the Holy Rosary, as Pope Leo XIII invited the faithful to join in praying the Rosary every day throughout October to invoke God’s gift of peace.
POPE LEO XIV
Pope Leo XIII urged Catholics to pray the Rosary daily for peace during the month of October.
