Family Prayer
Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Lord God is my help.
- The first reading from the prophet Isaiah is from the Songs of the Suffering Servant.
- The servant acts as a prophet to bring the word of God to those with afflictions.
- Even when the cost is great, the servant is faithful to his mission.
What good is it to say you believe, if you don’t practice it?
- The reading from the Letter of James tells us that faith without works is dead.
- Such a faith does not lead to life.
- The kinds of works that Jesus calls us to can be done if we walk in the way of Jesus, with the grace of God as our help.
Who do you say that I am?
- Jesus knew that the way of suffering, death and resurrection was predestined for him by God.
- Through this as in all things, God, his Father would be his help.
- Followers of Jesus are called to deny themselves by actively responding to the needs of others, even if the cost is one’s life.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
Hello,
The school year is off to a great start. Bulletin boards are filled with color, classrooms are filled with joy, and students are engaged in learning. The first grade held a ribbon cutting event to open their classroom library. I was invited to join in the excitement, cut the ribbon, and read a story to the class. There are plenty of books in the classroom library to keep students reading all year.
The 8th graders harvested the garden and fresh vegetables were available to all. What a treat!
Our Parent Night held on September 2 was a great success. We had over 70 people attend. It was a great night to not only get information, but to talk with old friends, and make some new ones as well. It was great to see everyone. Ms. Schein’s K5 class had the highest parent attendance at the meeting, so the K5 students will receive an out of uniform day still to be determined. Thank you to all who attended.
The Fun Run and Tailgate Party is this Friday, September 10. The festivities begin at 5:00 with the children running laps to accumulate miles. The tailgate party will follow the run. Brats, hamburgers, hot dogs and chips will be available. Please bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on to enjoy the run and the after party. A special shout out to Mrs. Pitcher for organizing the run and to the Home and School Committee for hosting the event and taking care of the food.
We need volunteers for the Fun Run and Tailgate Party. We will need help with food prep, serving, and cleanup. If you are available to help please contact Samantha Rios at 414-614-1047.
The soccer season kicks off Saturday, September 11. All games are played at St. John the Evangelist with the first game starting at 9:00. Come out and support the St. John’s Eagles.
Mr. Oberdorf

Athletics Concession Stand Sign up
Each family with children in the athletic program is required to work one shift in the concession stand for each child participating. If you have two kids, you need to work two shifts that do not overlap and either parent can work the shift. You should have received an email from Signup Genius for working the concession stand. If you did not receive it, please check your spam folder or use the link below to access it. This is the biggest fundraiser for athletics and it is a success because of YOU!
Please consider volunteering for more than your required shifts to help concessions run smoothly. We need a minimum of two people working the concession stand at all times; however, when we have games on all the fields it is helpful to have 3 or 4 people working - two people to take orders and two people to keep everything stocked. In addition, if you have a child that is over 16 and needs to complete service hours, this would be a great opportunity. Any questions please contact Lauren Zidek 414-793-0263

An Invitation to Join the Schoenstatt Girls:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I would like to invite all girls in grades 4-8 to join our Schoenstatt Girls' Groups which meet monthly from October - May! This year, the 4-7th graders will be meeting directly after school from 2:45-4:00 pm on the first Wednesday of each month, starting on October 6th. The 8th grade girls will meet at a separate time and place. (please note an incorrect date was published in last week's newsletter)
The Schoenstatt Girls and Young Women are part of the Schoenstatt Movement, which is a Marian Movement in the Catholic Church, devoted to striving for holiness in everyday life and transforming the world in Christ, through Mary. In the girls' groups, the girls grow in their relationship with Christ and Mary through activities, crafts, games, discussion, and prayer. The goal of the groups is to help them to live their faith in their daily lives as reflections of Mary. To register, please click on this link: https://form.jotform.com/212365311542042
I hope that your daughters are able to join us this year! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
God bless,
Sister M. Faustina Yank
Moderator of the Schoenstatt Girls and Young Women
