Family Prayer 

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8

Here I am! Send me.

• In the first reading, Isaiah gives an account of his prophetic call.
• Isaiah has a vision in which one of the seraphim touches his lips with a hot coal from the incense burner.
• This is a sign that his lips are cleansed to preach God’s word.

Reading II : 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

The grace of God is with us always.

• The reading from 1 Corinthians precedes the Gospel of Mark and is the oldest statement of resurrection faith recorded.
• Paul presents the Gospel’s general outline in the formal pattern of rabbinical tradition.
• For Paul, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the culmination of things written long ago.

Gospel : Luke 5:1-11

The apostles were called and so are we.

• Today’s Gospel story presents Luke’s account of the call of the first disciples.
• In contrast to the story told by Matthew and Mark, here the disciples had a more resounding reason to respond to the call from Jesus.
• Simon Peter’s response to the call reminds us of the response of Isaiah: "Leave me Lord. I am a sinful man."

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf

Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools week is always a busy, fun week. The week is filled with fun activities celebrating many of the things that make Catholic schools great. This year we celebrated our faith, our school spirit, our character, our parish community, our families, and our students and staff. 

We had our Monday morning prayer service led by our NJHS members to celebrate our faith and kickoff our celebration of Catholic schools. Monday afternoon was a celebration of school spirit as we had our annual teacher vs. 8th grade volleyball game and pep rally. 

Tuesday we celebrated our students and staff with a teacher switch day. Our middle school teachers moved downstairs to work with our younger students and our primary grade teachers moved upstairs to work with our middle school students. The students had a great time working with a new teacher. 

Wednesday we celebrated our parish community by working with our buddy classes to complete service projects. We made valentine cards to send out to community members and door decorations for the residents at Clement Manor. 

Thursday we celebrated our character and a busy week with a comfy, cozy movie festival in the afternoon.  

Friday we celebrated our families. We did not have school so students were able to have a family day at home to go out to lunch, play games, or hangout. 

Here are a few pictures of our buddies working on our service projects.
