Family Prayer 



Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : Genesis 2:18-24

I will make a partner for him.

• The creation story in Genesis 2 portrays God as searching for an equal partner for the human.
• Only a creature that shares the same flesh will be a fitting partner.
• The union between man and woman is so central that they long to reunite in the one flesh they share.

Reading II : Hebrews 2:9-11

They are all brothers.

• In Jesus we see the true nature of God.
• Today’s second reading points out that Jesus accepted death for the sake of all.
• Jesus is the perfect leader because he shared in our weakness and suffering.

Gospel : Mark 10:2-16

Let the children come to me.

• In response to the Pharisees question about divorce, Jesus compares the passage in Deuteronomy, which is simply a concession to human weakness, to the creation story in Genesis, which emphasizes the indissolubility of marriage.
• Jesus presents the ideal of the marriage bond to stress the truth that in him, sin has no power in the world.
• In the final passage of today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims that the kingdom belongs to those who receive it as children.

Catholic Schools walk 10/21/24

The Catholic Schools Walk will be held at the local level again this year. Our students in  Grades 1-8 will walk on October 21 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 on the northside of the building at 1:00 on October 21. . 

Grades K4 and K5 will walk our school grounds earlier in the day with Mrs. Pitcher

We are walking to raise money for our school’s technology program. The money will be used to purchase software as well as replacement 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 readers there are 3 easy ways to donate. 

3 easy ways to donate:

1. Text SCHOOLSWALK66 to 71777

2. Use the following link https://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/SCHOOLSWALK/team/StJohntheEvangelist

Phone Reminder

Students may not be on their phones while on school grounds. This includes using the internet, texting, or phone calls. If students are in after school care,  or waiting for choir, club or a practice to start, phones are still off limits. Students can talk to each other. Phones should remain in the students' backpacks until their parents pick them up.

If the student asks a teacher for permission to contact someone for a ride or another need and the teacher approves use of the phone the teacher will monitor the situation. 

As with other electronic devices not required for school, the school is not responsible for any phone that is lost, damaged, or stolen. If your child does have a phone,  please discuss with him or her the school expectations for its use.  

Trunk or Treat 

Our trunk or treat RSVP/ registration form will be in a future Thursday folder. Due to a new policy put forth by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee all candy distributors must be Safe Environment certified. There are opportunities in the area to take the initial Safe Environment course. Please consider completing the Safe Environment certification.
