Family Prayer 

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : 1 Samuel 3:3b-10, 19

Here I am. You called me.

• The reading from 1 Samuel tells the story of the call of Samuel.
• Samuel’s response to God’s call comes only after some confusion.
• Eli understands that it is God who is calling and instructs Samuel to respond in the proper way.

Reading II : 1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20

You belong to Christ.

• The second reading begins Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. Paul wants the community members to change their ways.
• Paul stresses that our bodies are made holy by the indwelling of God’s Spirit.
• Everything we do must give glory to God.

Gospel : John 1:35-42

We have found the Messiah!

• John the Baptist’s role, to point toward Jesus, is clearly shown in today’s Gospel.
• The two disciples who follow Jesus ask him, "Where are you staying?"
• Jesus responds with, "Come and see," an invitation to follow him.

SJE Parking Lot

Please watch your speed while on school grounds. There has been an increase in cars traveling at speeds too fast for our lot. It may be our school families or members of the parish. Either way, this is just a reminder to travel at lower rates of speed anywhere on the SJE campus. If you always drive at an appropriate speed while on school grounds, thank you. If sometimes you are a little fast, please adjust your speed. Our goal is to keep everyone safe. 

Carline Reminder

Please remember to display the name card provided at the beginning of the year on the visor of your car at pickup. It will help with the line moving efficiently and will help when we dismiss from the gym due to weather.

SJE is Singing the National Anthem

Grades 3-8 parents:

Thank you to those who have committed their child to singing the National Anthem at the Milwaukee Wave soccer game on Feb 16. This is going to be a great way to represent our school and highlight the beautiful singing voices of our students. There is still time to add more singers. Please consider purchasing Wave tickets for you and your child and joining us. Mrs. Weyer needs to know the names of the singers that will be participating so please email her at aweyer@sje.school when you order your tickets. This is a unique opportunity that we will not be given next year so we highly encourage all 3rd-8th singers to join us. Here is the link to order tickets

Service Hours



Our grade 5-8 students are expected to complete 30 total hours of service over the course of their four years at SJE. The expectation is 5 hours in 5th grade, 5 hours in 6th grade, 10 hours in 7th grade, and 10 hours in 8th grade. If a student started with us after 5th grade the hours are adjusted based on the above numbers. If a student is short in an earlier year the hours may be made up in the later years. 

Service hours are not counted until the service hour slip is completed, signed by a leader of the activity, and turned into Mr. Courchane.
