Family Prayer 

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Reading I : Acts 4:8-12

Jesus has become our cornerstone!

• The reading from the Acts of the Apostles follows the story of the arrest of Peter and John and includes Peter's speech to the authorities who are interrogating them.
• Peter restates the basic truth of the resurrection: Death is conquered and life won through the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
• The authorities release Peter and John, who immediately return to preaching the good news.

Reading II : 1 John 3:1-2

We shall be like him: light!

• The reading from the First Letter of John is another description of the relationship between God and people.
• God has made us children through and with Christ.
• Because we are God's children, then, we must be like God.

Gospel : John 10:11-18

Jesus is our good shepherd.

• In the gospel passage, Jesus describes three traits of an ideal shepherd.
• These traits also characterize Jesus’ relationship to his followers.
• Jesus calls his sheep by name, and they follow wherever he leads.

A Message from the Home and School Committee



Hello SJE Families!

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10, 2024. We believe SJE teachers are amazing, and they show so much dedication to our children! Home and School will be providing our wonderful teachers with meals, snacks, and treats throughout the week. We would love to have SJE families get involved in showing the love to our teachers also! 

Below you will find a Sign Up Genius link with 2 slots for each teacher, along with a link to their Amazon Wish Lists for their classrooms. We welcome you to sign up to purchase $20 worth of items off of that teacher's Amazon Classroom Wish List. This is a way to support all of our children's classrooms and keep the responsibility of using personal money for fun supplies off of our teachers' shoulders!

Please note: There are two slots per teacher. Both families who sign up can purchase $20 individually, or come together to purchase a larger $40 item. Either option is wonderful and appreciated! To ensure everyone gets sponsored, if your child's homeroom teacher's slots are taken, please consider filling another staff member's wishes, such as Spanish, Music, P.E. or Learning Resource Teachers. In the AMAZING event that all slots are filled for every teacher and you still want to sign up, you may go ahead and choose any teacher's wish list that you would like! Please complete all purchases by May 5, so gifts arrive at school during Teacher Appreciation Week!

SJE Home and School Association

Storytime on the Playground Fun!

On Sunday, April 21 we had storytime and playground fun. Students  were invited to 10:30 Mass. We  met on our playground after Mass.

Mrs. Sostre and I read a few stories to our students and their younger siblings. After listening to the stories, participants received bubbles, a free book, and had time to play together. There was plenty of fun had by all.

A big shout out to Mrs. Sostre for volunteering to read to the children and a big thank you to Mrs. Girard and Mrs. Januchowski for organizing the event.   

Safe Environment Week 2024

April 21-27th 

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee recognizes April 21st –April 27th as Safe Environment Awareness Week. Each year in the month of April, which is recognized around the country as child abuse prevention month, we dedicate a week to elevating the general awareness of the Church’s efforts to keep our children safe. We want people to know that we are committed to maintaining safe environments in our parishes and schools through adult child abuse prevention training; criminal background checks for all clergy, volunteers working with minors, and employees; safety training for children in each grade level; and adhering to all mandatory reporting requirement laws.

Links to “10 Tips for Protecting Children from Abuse” and “Abuse Warning Signs” were provided in the April 18th newsletter.

This week’s Thursday folder also includes information on the safe environment program, keeping children safe online, and protecting children from sexual abuse.

JOG Presentations May 13th and 14th

This year our 8th grade students will continue the St. John’s Justification of Graduation (JOG) tradition on May 13th and 14th. Our 8th grade students will present to their parents, mentors, and members of the parish and school community how each student is prepared for the challenges of high school. 

Would you be interested in being a part of the viewing panel? As a member of the panel, your job is to sit back and listen to the accomplishments of an 8th grade student in the areas of Catholic faith, academics, service, extra-curricular activities and their future plans and then offer positive feedback. 

Please consider being a part of this event. Each powerpoint presentation should last approximately 20 minutes. We would like you to consider listening to 2-3 students’ presentations. Two presentations will take about one hour. 

Presentations are scheduled for:

If you are interested please contact Mr. Oberdorf at 414-321-8540 or email boberdorf@sje.school by Wednesday, May 1 to let us know of your availability.
