Family Sunday Readings 



Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : Isaiah 5:1-7

Israel is the vineyard of the Lord.

• The first 39 chapters of the Book of Isaiah are called First Isaiah.
• First Isaiah preaches about faithfulness to God and Salvation.
• In today's passage Isaiah sings a story about an unfruitful vineyard.

Reading II : Philippians 4:6-9

Present your needs to God.

• In the Letter to the Philippians, Paul gives advice for Christian living.
• Christians are to imitate Christ and to live according to what he has taught them.
• The harvest would come, not from their worry but from their prayer and trusting labor.

Gospel : Matthew 21:33-43

They killed even the son.

• The Gospel is another parable about a vineyard.
• In this story, the problem was not the vineyard itself, but those entrusted with its care.
• Jesus' hearers knew on whom the judgment fell; the chief priests and the Pharisees.

"Today and every day, be a peace keeper."

Romans 12:10

Catholic Schools walk 10/7/26

The Catholic Schools Walk will be held at the local level again this year. Our students in Grades 1-8 will walk on October 7 at 1:00 to celebrate Catholic schools and our faith. Mrs. Pitcher has set up a route to walk using the path north of our school. We will celebrate our faith by stopping along the route to pray. If you would like to join us for the walk, the walk will begin with a prayer at 1:00 on October 7 

We are walking to raise money for our school’s technology program. The money will be used to purchase software and to replace chrome books and SMART boards. If you are interested in making a donation to support our walkers and technology program please:

Staff Classroom Wishlists

We are so blessed to have a wonderful group of devoted educators in our school community. Let's show them some love and gratitude by shopping teachers Amazon Classroom Wish Lists! This is a way to support all of our children's classrooms and keep the responsibility of using personal money for fun supplies off of our teachers' shoulders. These lists will be available all school year long on our website. We welcome you to shop these lists if you are able. Purchases can be shipped directly to SJE with the teacher’s name. Thank you for your support!
