Dear JPIIA Community, This evening I ask for your willingness to participate in the formation of one of very own parents who is studying to be a deacon. Mr. Paul Schumacher is entering a portion of his schooling that he would like your help. Please read the below information about who Paul is as well as what his needs are for his next project. It is so important to build our faith community. Please email me if you are able to meet with Paul. In the coming week, I will personally be asking families to participate in Paul’s offer to meet with families to learn more about your faith and how Sacred Heart can offer you any support in your spiritual life. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
Monday: Chicken parmesan (6,7 and 8 grade) Chicken patty sandwich (K-5th Grade), chilled fruit and mixed veggies Tuesday: Sub sandwich, carrot coins, chilled fruit and crackers Wednesday: Hamburgers/cheese, tater tots, pork and beans and chilled fruit Thursday: Rotini and meatballs, chilled fruit, green beans and bread stick Friday: Tacos, refried beans, corn bread, chilled fruit and gogurt
“My name is Paul Schumacher. I am a Deacon Candidate in the third year of a four year Diaconate Formation Program as a member of Sacred Heart Parish. God willing, I will be ordained as a Deacon in September of 2018. I have been a member of Sacred Heart Parish for six years and have served in many different capacities including Parish Council. My son Henry is an eighth grader at John Paul II and has attended since he was in second grade. My wife Lisa is also the Development Director at John Paul II. One of the key roles of a Deacon is service. A Deacon is supposed to know the needs of the people and help to address those needs through the Church and the Church’s resources. As an element of our formation program, we are to involve ourselves in a three month ministry during this semester which runs from May through July.
May 14– Jeremiah T. May 15– Drew S. May 18– Rose B.
In discussing ideas for this ministry with Father Ricardo, we discussed how we would like to see the Parish better serve the needs of school families. As a first step in this process, we wanted to take some time to better understand what those needs are.
May 20– Carlos R-G.

Cardinal Classic Basketball As many may be aware we were unable to hold our annual Cardinal Classic basketball tournament this year due to a lack of volunteers. We would like to continue this long-standing tradition because it is something much of the John Paul II Academy/ Sacred Heart community often looks forward to and also serves as the Athletic Association's biggest fundraiser. In the past, the tournament was exclusive to 8th grade teams but we are open to changing the format. We are aiming for a date in January for the tournament. At this time, we are looking for someone to serve as the chair/coordinator of the tournament. Please contact Mr. Andersen at [email protected] if you are willing to serve as next year's chair. The sooner we can solidify a chair, the sooner we can pinpoint a date and the more likely we will be able to get teams in to make sure the tournament runs smoothly. Thank you!

It could illustrate the intensity of preparation or highlight the emotions and adrenaline of a close game. It could depict the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. Artists are invited to tell the story of their Packers gameday experience through painting, drawings, prints, digital art, mixed media or collage. The deadline to submit artwork is May 22. Three grand prize winners also will receive a $5,000 donation to the winner’s school art program and an invitation for the winner and two guests to the Suite Holder Tasting and Artwork Unveiling on July 19, 2017, at Lambeau Field.
