Sunday Mass Readings 

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Reading I : Proverbs 8:22-31
I was present at the creation of the world.
  • In the first reading from Proverbs, Wisdom plays before God upon the earth that she helped bring into being.
  • Lady Wisdom was begotten and brought forth by God and she was present as God’s designer in the work of creation.
  • The words delight and playing in today’s passage, express the Creator’s joy.

Reading II : Romans 5:1-5
We are at peace.
  • The reading from the Letter to the Romans developed the idea of Christ as our mediator with God.
  • Christ has reconciled us to God, not because of any effort on our part, but because of the immense love of God.
  • We are strong because the Spirit of God lives in us.

Gospel : John 16:12-15
The Father and I are one and the Holy Spirit will receive what I give and tell you about it.
  • The reading from the Gospel of John is part of Jesus’ discourse to the disciples the night before his death.
  • Jesus promised to send the Spirit to the disciples to comfort and strengthen them after he had gone to the Father.
  • Just as Jesus was the revealer of God, so the Spirit revealed God to the disciples.
A Message from Mr. Oberdorf

It is hard to believe the school year comes to an end tomorrow, June 10 with an 11:00 dismissal. There has been much learning, growing, socializing, working, and celebrating this year. I would like to thank all of you for your support and kindness this year as I transitioned into the role of principal at SJE. I felt welcomed and a part of the community from the very first day and that feeling has continued to grow throughout the school year. I hope I have met your expectations and if I have not, please reach out to me. As my journey in education continues, I look forward to doing my part to further strengthen the already strong St. John’s community. Thank you for letting me serve your family.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you from Mrs. Kaminski

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made Mrs. Kaminski Day on Monday so very special. I was surprised to be honored during the morning prayer service and then to be showered with gifts all throughout the day. I am so grateful for the generosity of our Home and School committee and the families who contributed to the wonderfully thoughtful gifts. I can't find the words to say how special you all made me feel. Let's just say that I will be keeping busy in the garden and in my sewing room! Oh - and my husband and I will be enjoying a few meals out! Here is a picture of all the goodies.

It is finally sinking in that as I enter retirement, I will truly miss the children and the parents who I have come to know throughout my time here. This job has been more than a job - it has been a joy to be part of such a wonderful community. Thank you again!
June 10th - Our Last Day of School
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
Please join us for our final school Mass of the year on Friday, June 10 at 10:00. I look forward to seeing you as we close out the 2021-22 school year in prayer. During mass, the school office will be closed.

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!!
Summer Office Hours

Our school office will be open next week. Hours will vary by day, so if you plan a visit, please call ahead.
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!
