Family Prayer
Fifth Sunday of Easter
They assembled the church and gave an account of all that God had done with them.
- The reading from Acts describes the return of Paul and Barnabas to Antioch to report on the success of their missionary efforts.
- They help the new Christians organize their small communities.
- The Christian communities are encouraged to persevere in spite of the suffering that their new faith might bring them.
God will wipe away all the tears from their eyes.
- The vision from Revelation is a description of God’s final victory over evil and the establishment of the kingdom in its fullness.
- Jerusalem, the city of God and God’s people, comes from heaven and is made new by God.
- The new community is represented by love for God and for one another.
Love one another!
- The Gospel presents the heart of Jesus’ message: “Love one another as I have loved you.”
- Before the passage, Judas left to betray Jesus.
-
The glorification of Jesus happens through betrayal, suffering and death.

Congratulations to our second graders on making their First Communion May 7, 2022. Our prayers for our students as they continue on their faith journey. On Monday, the students excitedly shared with me the song they were going to sing on the day of their First Communion. It was awesome to see the joy on their faces as they sang the song for me. The students also played Eucharistic bingo to review for the big day and enthusiastically helped each other search for the answers on their bingo cards. The children were further celebrated at the May Crowning service and at our Wednesday school Mass. |

A week of fun at SJE. Our 7th and 8th grade students enjoyed their outdoor educational experience at Camp Edwards May 2-4.

Although the weather did not cooperate, through some schedule changes, the students were able to participate in all of the activities planned. Here are a few photos showing the fun. |

VIP/Grandparents Day
Wednesday, May 18th
VIP/Grandparents Day is less than a week away. Below are a few notes for the day. Please convey this information to your student's VIPs:
Mass starts at 10:00. VIPs should use the main doors of the church. Guests will sit behind our students.
After Mass please wait for directions. There will be two groups for the day based on the last name of the child the VIP is visiting. The first group will include students whose last names begins with the letters A-M. The second group will be students whose last names begin with the letters N-Z. Please listen for directions for connecting with your child. The A-M group will be led by a staff member to the cafeteria for lunch. When arriving at the cafeteria please choose a seat and wait for your table to be called to get lunch. The N-Z group will be led to the gym by a staff member for a presentation by “Mad Science.”
After the science presentation is complete. The groups will change places. Staff members will lead the transition. The second session should end around 12:30. At this time students will be dismissed to their classrooms and VIPs are welcomed to stay and socialize with each other or they may leave at that time.

Our annual school picnic will be held on school grounds on Wednesday, June 8th, 2022, for our first through seventh graders. Eighth grade graduates are invited to come back if they would like to help out.
Next week, there will be a Signup Genius in the newsletter, asking for help on picnic day. We will need several parents to cook, serve, and help with games. As always, helping on picnic day counts toward your volunteer hours. We will be looking for help throughout the day. Times to consider as you to try to schedule a time to help:
- Cooks: 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM
- Set up/serve/cleanup kitchen: 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM
- Adult game helpers/snack servers: 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM
The Home and School Association will provide lunch, snacks and beverages. The menu will include hot dogs or grilled hamburgers, a variety of chips, dessert, and a drink. Additionally, there will be an afternoon treat.
Please dress according to the weather. Children will be running and playing, so proper shoes should be worn. Remember: Please use good judgment with regard to what your children wear. (Midriff tops, tank tops with thin straps, tight fitting clothing, or clothing with inappropriate wording will not be allowed. Please remember our children range in age from 6 to 14. Modesty is our expectation here.)
Don’t forget the sunscreen!!
