Also a big thank you to our parents, the first teachers of the Christian faith to your children, and to all family mem-bers and catechists who help pass the Catholic faith on to the next genera-tion. Keep up the good work.

LEND A HAND (Extraordinary Ministers, Lectors, Ushers and Servers)
During the summer months, we find we are often shorthanded at weekend liturgies. Please check to see if your help is needed at the Mass you attend even though you may not be scheduled.
Meet the new priests of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee!
This weekend, St. John’s Vocations Committee will again have on display pictures and stories about our new priests who were ordained May 19th at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Milwaukee. Please plan to stop in the nar-thex after Mass and “Meet” our new priests. Get to know them and plan to pray for them.
The parish & school offices will be closed
on Monday, May 28th in observance of Memorial Day.
Please plan your visits accordingly.

I used to work with a colleague who said, during the long winter months, “Blink your eyes and it will be June!” Truer words were never spoken. It is tough to believe that Memorial Day is here, and graduation and the end of our school year will follow soon after. As we approach our summer break, I’d like to thank all of our supportive parishioners. Our school is a close knit community; a safe place for our students to grow, both academically and spiritually. We are blessed, in so many ways. Please continue to keep us in your prayers throughout the summer months. Just as the school year passes quickly, the restful summer will fly by. Our teachers will be spending at least part of their time off studying and preparing for the upcoming year. We eagerly face the challenges of the
upcoming school year.
Happy Memorial Day! Mary Laidlaw Otto, Principal

Thank you for your participation in our Mother's Day Rose Sale. We sold all of our 396 roses (33 dozen)! The Roses, being the symbol of life, were
given to mothers, grandmothers, aunts and special friends that, in some way, represented caring for our lives in a very special way. We'd also like to thank our rose supplier, Coun-try Flowers (3101 E Layton Ave) for all their help and extra care they have shown us over the past 5 years.

Why do Catholics make the Sign of the Cross? In the second century when this practice began, it was common to honor a ruler with a gesture of respect.
Whether bowing down on one knee or touching the forehead, such gestures were ritual ways to show humility before a person of great power.
The Sign of the Cross became one such devotion to the Holy Trinity, and acted as a sign of recognition between early Christians who were sometime forced to worship in secret. Now a prayer in itself, each time we make the Sign of the Cross we express respect for God and request his blessings for ourselves.

Memorial Day Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, today we honor the memory of those men and women who gave their all in the cause of freedom. They worked, fought and died for the heritage of freedom, brother-hood and honor that they have passed on to us.
Help us to recall that you gave up your life for the true freedom of all hu-man beings. Teach us the meaning of peace and the real battle that must take place in ourselves before it will be won in families and nations. Make us keep your memory in our celebration of Communion and pray for the peace and freedom of the whole world. Amen
Mass will be offered on Monday, May 25th at 8:00am. All parishioners and friends are encouraged to join us.
