Family Prayer 

Fifth Sunday of Lent

Reading I : Jeremiah 31:31-34

I will make a new covenant with Israel.

• The prophecy of Jeremiah in today’s first reading was spoken to the people of Israel while they were in exile.
• The people had not remained faithful to the covenant made at Sinai.
• The old covenant was written stone; the new covenant will be written in the people’s hearts.

Reading II : Hebrews 5:7-9

Jesus learned to obey God.

• The reading from the Letter to the Hebrews describes the prayer of Jesus during his passion.
• It is his reverence that makes Jesus perfect and the source of salvation for all who obey him.
• Salvation comes through obedience bought with suffering.

Gospel : John 22:20-33

If it dies, it produces much grain.

• The author of today’s Gospel is writing for a Greek audience.
• Jesus’ response to some Greeks asking to see Jesus becomes a prediction of his death and glorification.
• In the image of the grain of wheat that dies to produce life we see that God will be glorified in the death of Jesus. Jesus will be exalted, drawing all persons to himself and thus to eternal life.

Youth Choir at Special Mass

The St. John the Evangelist Youth Choir lead by Mrs. Karen Schulteis, our Youth Choir director, was invited to lead the music at the 2024 Archbishop’s Catholic Schools Dinner Mass on Tuesday, March 5 at the Baird Center in Milwaukee. Bishop Haines was the celebrant. Not only did the choir sing, but two of our school students were altar servers for the Bishop. The Catholic Schools Dinner raises funds for the GIFTS program (Grand Initiatives for Today’s Students) which benefits schools throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. It was great honor for SJE school and parish to be chosen to sing. Great job, choir.

Wellness Warriors- Run the Halls!

Our Wellness Warriors student group put together another fun event for our students. We had our annual run the halls event. Over 100 students took the opportunity to run the school halls. Our Wellness Warriors make posters advertising the event, set up the route, lead their groups in stretching, run along with the participants, serve a healthy snack after students complete the run, and clean up after the event. Our Wellness Warriors did a great job once again!   

8th Grade Girls Basketball Team Padre Tournament Game
