Family Prayer
Third Sunday of Easter
God raised Christ from the dead.
- In the reading from the Acts of the Apostles, Peter explains that Jesus is the fulfillment of the ancient messianic promises.
- Jesus, the Messiah, who died and was raised to new life, brought a new life of peace and right relationship with God.
- Through Jesus, God’s merciful love is available to all those who seek it.
Whoever keeps God's word has love made perfect.
- The first part of the second reading reminds believers that sin still exists in the world.
- Believers must walk in light because God is light.
- Christ, who lives in a totally loving relationship with the Father, is also the Advocate who pleads our cause with the Father.
He stood in their midst.
- The author of today's Gospel attempts to tell us that Jesus' resurrection involves the whole person, body and spirit.
- After his resurrection, when Jesus eats with the disciples, they recognize him in the breaking of bread.
- Life in Christ is a life of forgiveness and peace.

A Message from
Mr. Oberdorf, Principal
A Moment of Thanksgiving and Gratitude.
During our time as members of the St. John the Evangelist school chapter of the National Junior Honor Society, we have been given the opportunity to plan, advertise, organize, and sort the items generously donated in support of the various charities we decide to assist each season.
We are all so grateful for the cooperation and support that both the parish and school communities have provided for our service drives. We would like to say how grateful and appreciative we are for the tremendous amount of donations that were made for our most recent Compassion in Action collection during Lent. With all the items donated, we were able to fill over 90 boxes with necessary hygiene, school, art, cleaning, and paper product supplies.
These items will be delivered to the Milwaukee Women’s Center and the Sojourner Family Peace Center and will then be distributed to those in need.
Again, we are so grateful for your generous contributions and prayers. We thank you for all you have done for our parish and school community. Happy Easter, and God bless you all!
8th Grade NJHS members

Safe Environment Week 2024
April 21-27th
Protecting our Children starts with working as a Community on Prevention.
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.
