Great job! So who takes care of you like a good shepherd takes care of his sheep? If you said your parents, grandparents and/or teachers, you would be right. Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd because he cares for his followers like a shepherd cares for his sheep. Most parishes have a pastor. The pastor is a priest, like Father Bill, who leads and cares for the people in his parish, much like a shepherd cares for his sheep. In our next lesson, we are going to learn more about the "Shepherds of Our Church."
