Family Prayer 

Twenty- eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : Isaiah 25:6-10a

The Lord will provide for his people.

• Chapters 24-27 of the Book of Isaiah turn to the end times of God’s great victory, when all enemies would be defeated and God’s people would rejoice.
• A favorite image for the last day was the image of a banquet which God will provide on Zion, the holy mountain.
• All peoples will be invited, except, of course, God’s enemies who have already been defeated. Sin and death are the final enemies.

Reading II : Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20

In Christ, I am strong.

• Paul had just received a gift from the Philippians and wrote to express his gratitude.
• He praised them for their concern, but he also wanted to make clear to them that it was God who sustained him.
• Ultimately, Paul trusted in God’s great banquet at the end of time.

Gospel : Matthew 22:1-14

All are invited to the feast.

• Jesus tells the parable of the wedding banquet to describe the Kingdom of God.
• Those invited to God’s Kingdom must respond to the invitation with repentance and good works.
• Because many of the Jews in Jerusalem refused the invitation, the Gentiles were invited to the banquet.

A Message from

Mr. Oberdorf, Principal

St. John Way Mission T-shirts

We are so excited to have the opportunity to get St. John Way mission T-shirts. These T-shirts will be a visual reminder of our mission to live our Catholic values. The T-shirts will be worn throughout this school year on prayerpod days and field trips. There is NO COST to you because the Knights of Columbus has graciously donated the money to provide each student with a mission T-shirt!

Trunk or Treat

Friday, October 20 6:30-8:00

This is another fun event hosted by our Home and School Committee. Trunk or Treat is a Halloween event which includes raffles, costumes, candy and a lot of fun. You can decide to decorate your trunk and hand out candy or simply attend and enjoy the festivities. If you decide to decorate your trunk and handout candy the setup time is between 5:45 and 6:20. For safety’s sake no vehicles will be allowed to enter or leave the safe zone between 6:20 and 8:00. Remember no open flames of any kind should be part of your display. Please see the flyer and sign up for the fun filled Home & School sponsored event. Return your response no later than October 13.

Catholic Schools Walk

The SJE School Catholic Schools Walk will be held on October 12th celebrating Catholic schools and our faith. Mrs. Pitcher has set up a route to walk using the path north of our school from 84th to 92nd St. We will celebrate our faith by stopping along the route to pray the Rosary. If you would like to join us for the walk, please meet us on the playground at 1:00.

We are walking to raise money for our reading program including library improvements, more books, and our accelerated reader program. All donations raised are kept at SJE and there will be a percentage match from donors. If you are interested in supporting our readers there are 3 easy ways to donate.
