Reading I : Jeremiah 1:4-5, 17-19
Before you were born, you were known, consecrated and appointed.
  • Jeremiah was commissioned as a prophet to speak out against faithlessness and injustice.
  • Although his message was unpopular and his task painful, Jeremiah kept at it.
  • God promised to remain with Jeremiah and to deliver him in the end.

Love is the greatest gift of God.
  • In today’s beloved passage from 1 Corinthians, Paul tries to persuade his listeners that love is worth more than all other gifts.
  • Love always seeks the good of another.
  • Paul stresses that love is the touchstone of the mature Christian.

Gospel : Luke 4:21-30
Jesus was sent for us.
  • In today’s passage from the Gospel of Luke, Jesus meets with great opposition from the people of his hometown.
  • Jesus cites two examples in which prophets left the covenant people and worked miracles for Gentiles.
  • The people from Jesus’ hometown can not bear the truth that God’s Word moves freely anywhere God chooses.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
Hello,

Catholic Schools Week kicks off this weekend with our open house to be held on January 29 from 2:00-4:15 with Mass to follow at 4:30. After Mass the Home and School Committee is hosting a spaghetti dinner for our school families and prospective families. There is still time to volunteer to help with setting up, serving, or cleaning up. Thanks in advance for volunteering.  

Here is the sign up genius link to help

Basketball season started in December and our teams are doing pretty well. I have been to a few games and the SJE players have been good representatives of our school. The players have played hard and have shown good sportsmanship. This past weekend our 7th grade boys team won the consolation championship in the St. John Vianney Tournament. Our 8th grade girls team (combined with St. Matthias) took second place in the St. Agnes tournament. If interested in seeing a game, schedules may be found at https://parkviewparochial.org/basketball/
Our NJHS students under the guidance of Ms. Dunning have put together a fun filled week of activities and out of uniform days. (See the flyer below.)
