Family Prayer 

Fourth Sunday of Advent

Reading I : 2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16

The Lord is with you.

• In today's reading, David wishes to build a temple, a house for the Ark of the Covenant, and so he consults his court prophet Nathan.
• Nathan relates to David the message that God does not want a house. The essence of God's message is: You will not build a house for me; I will build a house for you.
• The word house implies a temple or dynasty.

Reading II : Romans 16:25-27

The Gospel reveals a mystery hidden for many ages.

• In the letter to the Romans, Paul teaches about salvation and faith.
• Paul stresses that the Gospel, made known to all, is for the salvation of everyone who has faith.
• The mystery kept secret for ages is now made clear.

Gospel : Luke 1:26-38

Blessed are you among women!

• The annunciation story in the Gospel of Luke presents Jesus as the fulfillment of the messianic hope.
• In today's passage, Mary of Nazareth humbly accepts the will of God, revealed by the angel Gabriel.
• Luke's Gospel highlights Mary's special role in God's plan of salvation.

A Message from

Merry Christmas

On behalf of myself and our school staff, I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Christmas break starts at the end of the school day on December 22nd. Students return on Wednesday, January 3rd.

When we return in January we will have a few things on the calendar. Our students will be STAR testing January 8-12. We also have parent/ student/ teacher conferences on January 18.

2023 has been a great year at SJE and I am looking forward to an even greater year in 2024. I hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas break.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Knights of Columbus “Keep Christ in Christmas” Poster Contest

Over fifty students participated in the “Keep Christ in Christmas” poster contest sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. The posters were scored by a panel of judges in three categories: slogan, artistic merit, and overall impact. Knight of Columbus member, Jason Zidek, announced the winners at our Monday morning prayer service. The winners received a gift card and their posters advanced to the regional level of competition. Congrats to all participants. The artwork was awesome. Thank you to the Knights of Columbus for hosting the contest. Our winners and their art.

SJE is Singing the National Anthem

Grades 3-8 parents:

Thank you to those who have committed their child to singing the National Anthem at the Milwaukee Wave soccer game on Feb 16. This is going to be a great way to represent our school and highlight the beautiful singing voices of our students. There is still time to add more singers. Please consider purchasing Wave tickets for you and your child and joining us. Mrs. Weyer needs to know the names of the singers that will be participating so please email her at aweyer@sje.school when you order your tickets. This is a unique opportunity that we will not be given next year so we highly encourage all 3rd-8th singers to join us. Here is the link to order tickets
