Mission Statement<br />

We, the <strong>com</strong>munity of St. <strong>James</strong>, are a prayerful and<br />

Eucharistic people who treasure our <strong>Catholic</strong><br />

traditions. We strive to grow in our faith by being<br />

good stewards of the gifts God has given us<br />

and by sharing God’s truth with all.<br />

As the Body of Christ, we are called to love and serve<br />

everyone, especially the marginalized,<br />

with joy and hospitality.<br />

Did you Know? (This is a repeat of last week.)<br />

It is that time of year again, when we ask all of our Groups/<br />

Ministry Heads to please send Daryl in our parish office<br />

your up<strong>com</strong>ing schedules for any events held in our St.<br />

<strong>James</strong> Facility. This includes those who have already been<br />

using the facility, as our calendar runs from July thru June,<br />

hence we start over; none of the events are automatically<br />

carried over from one year to the other. Please email your<br />

ministry or Scout events to Daryl @ parsec@kc.rr.<strong>com</strong>. In<br />

order to get the rooms scheduled as soon as possible.<br />

Thank you.<br />

We remind you it is our Policy (due to liability) in<br />

accordance with the diocese that nothing can be held in<br />

our facility without this event/ meeting being scheduled<br />

through the Parish Office and shown on our<br />

Critical Dates Calendar.<br />

— Jim Newell; Operations Manager<br />

“PLEASE”<br />

We ask that every parishioner or visitor to St. <strong>James</strong><br />

observe the red curb in front of the Church, school and<br />

parish office. Under no circumstances should a car be<br />

parked in these areas. We limit access to all the buildings<br />

by emergency vehicles when we violate this law, jeopardizing<br />

all occupants. Thanks for assisting us in making St.<br />

<strong>James</strong> a safer place to worship and attend school and visit<br />

fellow parishioners. — Jim Newell<br />

Holy Body and Blood of Christ Sunday Page 3 June 26, 2011<br />

From the Pastor’s Pen<br />

It is interesting to watch the young children who have not<br />

yet made his or her First Communion <strong>com</strong>e forward in the<br />

<strong>com</strong>munion line. Most of the children have learned to cross<br />

their hands and arms to request a blessing. Every once in<br />

awhile, one of the youngster will say, “Hey where is mine?”<br />

And the mom or dad will will shhhh them and move on.<br />

Although they may not know exactly what it is, they know<br />

they want it or at least they don't want to be left out. When<br />

we prepare our young people for First Communion, one of<br />

the questions we ask is, “What do we believe about the<br />

bread and wine? What does it be<strong>com</strong>e? Does it still look like<br />

bread? Does it still taste like bread?” One response was, “It<br />

doesn't look like any bread I've ever eaten.” As a wafer, it is<br />

challenging sometimes to know that it is bread, albeit<br />

unleavened bread.<br />

As we receive today the Body and Blood today, as we<br />

say our AMEN! not only do we recognize the presence of<br />

Christ in the Eucharistic, we also recognize the Body and<br />

Blood of Christ within us. For we ARE the Body and Blood of<br />

Christ. We are the living witness and sign of His presence in<br />

the world. So when that young child says, “Hey! Where's<br />

mine?” she's challenging us to be present to her as well.<br />

How often do we gather around a table as a family for a<br />

meal? Who sits at our table with us? Who is invited? Who is<br />

excluded? Are there any family members who don't feel<br />

wel<strong>com</strong>e? Recently my mom and sister moved into a new<br />

house. It is a smaller house with a decent size kitchen and<br />

living room, but a small dining room. The kitchen sink has a<br />

breakfast nook around it with tall stools. Mom did not have<br />

room for the large dining room table, so she decided to just<br />

eat meals at the counter. Well, that lasted only a couple of<br />

months when she decided she wanted, NO NEEDED at table<br />

to sit at. So she rearranged and found a small table to fit the<br />

space. How great it is to once again sit at table, share a<br />

meal and share family stories.<br />

May we always have a table to sit at, to be fed and<br />

nourished and to share the stories. —- Fr. Timothy<br />

Someone is Watching and Wondering<br />

Today, we once again celebrate the<br />

Solemnity of the Body and Blood of<br />

Christ (Corpus Christi). This feast<br />

originated in the diocese of Liège,<br />

France , and was based on the reve<br />

lations of a French nun Juliana of<br />

Mont Cornillon (1192-1258). Juliana<br />

was orphaned at age five, and<br />

placed in the care of the nuns of<br />

We wel<strong>com</strong>e our newest parishioners to<br />

our St. <strong>James</strong> Parish Family:<br />

Marian Collins<br />

Nate and Meredith Weick<br />

Matt, Heather, Ava, and Brady Wolesky<br />

A.J., Michaela, A.J., and Miles White<br />

Mount Cornillon. She experienced<br />

visions, while she was still young,<br />

in which the Lord pointed out<br />

that there was no feast in honor<br />

of the Blessed Sacrament. As a<br />

nun, and later prioress, she began<br />

to speak out for such a feast.<br />

Although she received support, the<br />

opposition drove her from the<br />

monastery and accused her of<br />

mismanaging funds of a hospital under her control. Following<br />

an inquiry, she was exonerated by the bishop, who in<br />

1246 introduced the feast of Corpus Christi in Liège. Following<br />

the bishops death, Juliana was again driven from the<br />

monastery, and found refuge at the Cistercian monastery of<br />

Salzinnes. That monastery was burned during a siege by<br />

Henry II of Luxembourg, so she retired to Fossess for the<br />

remainder of her life. Following her death, the struggle for<br />

the establishment of the feast of Corpus Christi was continued<br />

by her friend BL. Eva of Liège, until its universal promulgation<br />

by Pope Urban IV in 1264. From its inception it was<br />

a feast celebrating both the body and blood of Jesus,<br />

highlighting the redemptive effects of the sacrament.<br />

As we celebrate this feast I might suggest a re-reading of<br />

Heb 9:12 and 22-24 as a reminder that Jesus shed his blood<br />

for all humankind, for the forgiveness of sin; he made expiation<br />

for our sins (Rom 3:25), he cleansed us (Heb 9:14, 1<br />

John 1:7), purified and delivered us (1 Pet 1:2), sanctified us<br />

(Heb 13:12), and justified us (Rom 5:9). The Church has<br />

given a Eucharistic meaning to the words Jesus said at the<br />

Last Supper, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new<br />

covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:20). By virtue of our baptism,<br />

we share in the blood of Christ, and therefore, in His<br />

life through the Eucharistic cup. We are called to share Jesus’<br />

words with the world. This gives me a lot to contemplate,<br />

especially today as we celebrate the feast of The<br />

Body and Blood of Christ. Your sister in Christ, Sandy Gagnon

St. <strong>James</strong> School News<br />

Doors to Discovery<br />

What feelings do you feel as you stand in front of<br />

an unfamiliar door? Curiosity? Apprehension?<br />

Excitement?<br />

Not only will the children in kindergarten feel all<br />

these emotions on their "first day of school", they<br />

will also experience them throughout the school<br />

year as we open several new "doors" while learning<br />

in the classroom. Our theme for the year is<br />

"Doors to Discovery". Over the next 9 months,<br />

the kindergartners will investigate behind Our<br />

Own Doors, the Barn Door, the Cupboard Door,<br />

the Workshop Door, the Garden Gate.<br />

Behind our Own Doors, we will meet all our<br />

new friends. We will discover new things about<br />

our classmates, their families and our new<br />

school! While studying behind the “Big Barn<br />

Door”, we will investigate the seasons and the<br />

weather, baby farm animals and their parents and<br />

how food is produced. We will visit The Red Barn<br />

Farm in Weston, MO, as well as Shatto Dairy<br />

Farm, in Osborn, MO. This will lead us right into<br />

our next door, “The<br />

Cupboard Door”, where after taking a study trip to<br />

our local Hy-Vee, we will transform our classroom<br />

into our very own grocery store. We will learn<br />

about food groups, nutrition, and how to make<br />

healthy choices. All the knowledge we gain behind<br />

this door will be culminated with a Family<br />

Feast Night, in which the children plan the entire<br />

meal, help prepare the meal and décor and even<br />

provide the entertainment! “The Workshop<br />

Door” will lead us into an intense study of those<br />

famous builders; The Three Little Pigs. The importance<br />

of shelter, building materials, the stages<br />

of building houses, measuring and different types<br />

of tools will be discovered. The tradition of constructing<br />

our very own kindergarten classroom<br />

playhouse will give the opportunity to apply the<br />

knowledge we gain while behind this door. We<br />

will finish our year<br />

behind “The Garden Gate”, planting and digging<br />

in God’s soil, and discussing the importance of<br />

each one of God’s living creatures to our planet<br />

earth. We will observe as the moon seems to<br />

change shape in the night sky and use all these<br />

beautiful creations to inspire our artwork and literature.<br />

As they close the door on Kindergarten, the<br />

children will feel a sense of ac<strong>com</strong>plishment,<br />

pride, and prepared for the First Grade doors<br />

ahead of them.<br />

Our Faith In Action<br />

Stewardship Meditation: Among the <strong>com</strong>pelling<br />

Eucharistic themes proclaimed in today’s readings is<br />

the notion of “participation” as found in <strong>Saint</strong> Paul’s<br />

letter to the Corinthians. Good stewards are part of a<br />

Eucharistic family: loving, wel<strong>com</strong>ing, serving. An important<br />

part of living as a steward <strong>com</strong>es about in the<br />

many ways we can participate in the life of the Church.<br />

No matter how much time we have to give, no matter<br />

what our skills or interests, no matter what our level of<br />

<strong>com</strong>mitment, there is a way to participate as a good<br />

steward to enrich our lives, and build up the Body of<br />

Christ.<br />
