Sunday Mass Readings
Pentecost Sunday
All were filled with the Spirit!
- For the people of Israel, Pentecost originally had been a festival celebrating the wheat harvest and later it was associated with the covenant at Sinai and the exodus event.
- To remember this, Jews went to the temple in Jerusalem on the feast to offer sacrifices to God. That is why Jews from all parts of the world were gathered there in Jerusalem when the Spirit came upon the disciples.
- In today’s story of the first Christian Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descends on the disciples and the Church is born.
We are one Body in Christ.
- In his first letter to the community in Corinth, Paul stressed that God’s gifts were given to serve and build the community.
- Paul compared the Christian community to the human body.
- A person becomes a member of this body in Baptism.
Receive the Holy Spirit.
- In the Gospel of John the word Peace appears five times and three of them occur in the form of Jesus’ greeting, “Peace be with you”.
- After his greeting in today’s passage, Jesus breathed new life on the frightened disciples, and they received the gift of the Holy Spirit.
- The disciples were entrusted with the mission of forgiving sins.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
The big news for the day is the 8th graders are graduating this evening. Graduation is always a time of mixed emotions for me. I am happy to see our students accomplish the milestone and I am happy to know we all had a part in each one’s development and growth. I am confident our graduates will continue on their journey and do amazing things. I am also a little sad at this time of the year because they are moving on and our school community will miss them. Thank you to the graduation class of 2022 for all they have done for our school this year and previous years. Congratulations to the class of 2022.

Mrs. Carlton will be leaving us at the end of the year. Her commute is too long, and she will be looking for somewhere else to share her passion for teaching a little closer to home. Her dedication to her students has been commendable. The joy she demonstrates while interacting with students is evident daily. She works with students of all ages, and regardless of the age, they are always smiling and learning with Mrs. Carlton. Mrs. Carlton has definitely been an asset to our school and will be missed.
Thank you, Mrs. Carlton for all you have done for the SJE students and our school community.

Mark Your Calendars!
Here are a few things you may want to join in on:
Peter Rabbit, the Musical!
Please join us for a play performed by our 1st grade students at 9:25 in the gym on June 10. The first graders have worked hard on the play and I am sure the performance will be amazing. Then right after the play you can join us for our final school Mass of the year.
Last School Mass of the Year

Cousins Sub Day
Our final Cousins fundraiser will be Friday, June 10th, all day, at the Cousins Subs at 7495 W. Layton Ave. Last month's fundraiser earned us over $250. Thank you Cousins!!

Soccer and Volleyball Sign Ups
Soccer and volleyball signup is coming to an end. Please sign your child up today. It would be great to fill our rosters with St. John the Evangelist athletes and not have to combine with other schools. The friendships and life skills developed through athletics last a lifetime. Team work, punctuality, dedication, responsibility, and persistence learned from being part of a team transfer into other parts of our children’s lives and will help them grow. Please take advantage of these opportunities for your child and sign him or her up today!
