Family Prayer
Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Lord has delivered his people.
- In the first reading, Jeremiah proclaims God’s intention to bring the chosen people back from exile in Babylon.
- The most vulnerable people are given honor on this triumphant journey.
- These people, who know their only hope is God, will return with joyful shouting.
You are my son.
- In the Letter to the Hebrews, the author stresses that even Jesus, the Son of God, did not take the office of high priest upon himself.
- Jesus accepted a call that was initiated by God.
- The most compelling aspects of Jesus’ priestly ministry are his compassion for, and his identity with the people he serves.
I want to see.
- Earlier in the Gospel of Mark there is a story of an unnamed blind man, whom Jesus heals in stages.
- In today’s Gospel, Jesus cures the blind man named Bartimaeus immediately.
- The two stories reveal that the struggle to know the Lord, and the journey of faith, is life long.

Grandparents/ VIP Day 11/1/24 Mass 10:00
Grandparents Day/VIP Day is Friday, November 1. The day starts with Mass at 10:00. The church doors will open at 9:30. Each year as part of our Grandparents/ VIP day and celebration of All Saints Day, our students are encouraged to dress up as their favorite saint. It is always great to see so many of our students enter church on All Saints Day smiling and representing their favorite saints.
After Mass we will be separated into two groups. One group will go to lunch in the cafeteria and the other group will go to the gym to play bingo. Then the groups will switch. After the two sessions are complete there will be time to visit the classrooms. VIP day should conclude around 1:15.

Catholic Schools Walk
On October 21, our school walked to celebrate Catholic schools. We were blessed with beautiful weather. We walked the path north of our school building and stopped for prayer throughout the walk. Our school community enjoyed a snack and drink at the end of the walk. It was a great celebration of our school and our faith!
We not only walked to celebrate our Catholic school, we also walked to raise money for our school’s technology program. The money will be used to purchase software as well as replace chrome books. All donations raised are kept at SJE and there will be a percentage match from donors. If you are interested in supporting our school there are 3 easy ways to donate

MAPSS Soccer League
The MAPSS soccer league is in need of board members. MAPSS runs the leagues our students participate in for soccer and futsal. If volunteers are not found the league will disband and we will not be able to provide these opportunities for our student/ athletes. MAPSS is currently looking for a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and a Treasurer. The current board members have held the roles for two years and stepped up when the previous league disbanded. If you would like to share your time and talents as a member of the league board and be part of providing soccer and futsal opportunities to countless Catholic school athletes of southeastern Wisconsin please consider taking on a board member position with the league. Other opportunities to help with the league are also available.
If interested please contact our SJE athletic director, Denelle Bartoshevich at ad@sje.k12.wi.us
