Dear SJE families,
 
The shooting in Texas has evoked many emotions - fear, anxiety, sadness and anger - to name a few.  As a community, our heartfelt prayers go out to all affected by this horrific incident.  We will keep the families in our intentions at Mass.  

We recognize you may get questions from your children. It may be hard to know how to respond appropriately in the moment. Experts tell us that in situations like this, it is best to wait for the children to bring up their concerns.  We have included a link with great resources for those working together to support our parish ministries and families to assist you in having these difficult conversations.

Please reach out if you need any additional support personally during this time.  We will continue to work together to support our parish community.
 
Together in faith,
 

Fr. Ethan Southard, Pastor

           and
Mrs. Monica Lucariello, School Principal
