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 />

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

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 />
