Family Prayer
Gospel Reading for Sunday, May 5th, 2019
Third Sunday of Easter
Repent and Believe
- Do you remember another time when Jesus did something with loaves of bread and some fish?
- Do you remember another time when Jesus took bread and wine and gave them to his disciples to eat?
- Do you think Jesus was referring to actual lambs and sheep? Who is he referring to?
Please consider reading the upcoming Sunday gospel together as a family. The questions above are good conversation starters as you prepare your children for weekly mass.

A Note from the Principal:
Dear SJE Parents,
As you know, it has been our goal to provide more faith experiences to our students. On Monday, May 13th, at 1:30 PM, our students will celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. We can’t wait to share this story with our students. It is a shining example of how faith should guide our lives, and a wonderful lesson in the power of prayer.
I would like to invite our parents and younger siblings to join us in celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima. This will be a family friendly event, beginning with an explanation of the experiences of the children at Fatima with the Blessed Mother. We will pray a decade of the rosary together, and end with a treat for all.
We will be raffling off a statue of the Blessed Mother. Tickets are 50 cents each. The proceeds will be used for future events supporting the faith development of our students.
We hope that you will join us on Monday, May 13th.
Growing in God’s Love,
Mary Laidlaw Otto

Fuel Greatness
Student Ambassador Reward Summit
Our SJE Fuel Up to Play 60 team meets twice per month throughout the school year to plan activities which engage our students in healthy eating and activity.
This year, St. John the Evangelist is one of only three schools in the Milwaukee area and one of 27 in the state to have students earn an invitation to an all-day event in Green Bay on Wednesday, May 1st. Nick F. (gr. 8), Mario C. (gr. 8), Angelica W. (gr. 7), Therese P. (gr. 7), Tyler J. (gr. 6) and Ms. Starks took part in snack planning and a leadership brain break activity which they will share with our students. In addition, students met with dairy farmers, participated in a scavenger hunt in the Packer Hall of Fame and Minute to Win It contest with Mason Crosby and Geronimo Allison. What a busy day!!
Transportation to this amazing event was funded by our Home and School Association. We look forward to our team sharing new ideas in upcoming FUTP60 events.
