Family Prayer
Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
The Lord is God and there is no other.
- In the reading from Deuteronomy we can see that the God of Israel is not removed from human history but enters into history with great power to protect and save the chosen people.
- Through a speech by Moses, the people are encouraged to be aware of the many ways in which God has sustained them.
- The Creator God desires to bless the people and make them prosper.
You have received the Spirit.
- In Romans, Paul describes God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- The Spirit is the shared life and love between Father and Son.
- With Christ we become children of God.
Go!
- The Gospel passage from Matthew is Jesus’ final instruction to the disciples after the resurrection.
- Jesus proclaims full authority over all creation.
- With that authority, Christ commissions the disciples to continue his work in the world, and he promises to remain with them until the end of the world.

A Message from Mrs. Laidlaw Otto
Dear SJE Families,
We are certainly in the home stretch! Our eighth graders will pass the torch of leadership along to our seventh graders next Wednesday at our annual candle mass, and will graduate from St. John the Evangelist one week from today. As you can imagine, these events have taken on new importance to us after a year of endless cancellations.
Although this has certainly been a year filled with challenges, there are so many things to celebrate for all of our students. We are especially proud of our eighth graders for their willingness to step up and support our younger students. They are definitely a group of helpers and now, perhaps more than ever, we need helpers. As we spend the last few days preparing to say goodbye to these young people, we are grateful for their willingness to go the extra mile. Whether they are assembling Christmas decorations, helping to box up collection items, working at drive-through fish fries, or working to prepare our garden, they have shown us that, even in a year without buddy classes, leaders are valuable. Their graduation will be a celebration not only of who they are, but also of who we know they will become!
Together in God's Name,
Mary Laidlaw Otto

Water to Thrive Celebration
Next Wednesday, June 2nd, we will spend some time celebrating the completion of our well project. We will be participating in a mini water-walk that afternoon, carrying water from the soccer fields to our garden. Our students are asked to bring small recyclable containers to school on Wednesday. An empty water or soda bottle would be perfect. No lid is necessary.

Schoenstatt Movement
As many of you know, some of our girl students in grades 5-8 are part the Schoenstatt Movement of Girls and Young Women. The objective of the movement is to help the individual member in the development of her personal faith, a faith that is geared towards life and helps the member to cherish and value her own life and life's mission. This objective is achieved in the covenant of love with Mary, the Mother of God.
If you have younger girls (ages 6-9) and might be interested in finding out more about the Schoenstatt Movement, please see this invitation from Sr. Faustina:
