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

From The Servant’s Quarters<br />

• Welcome to December! Welcome to Advent!<br />

Welcome to “the most wonderful time<br />

of the year!” You may not feel this way as you<br />

read the Scriptures given us for these early<br />

Advent days. They can be a bit scary and terrifying!<br />

Why such “heavy” readings at the<br />

outset of this holyday/holiday season?<br />

• From our Christian point of view we are<br />

living during the “in-between” times. Jesus<br />

was born, lived, taught, died, and rose over<br />

two thousand years ago. When he returned to<br />

the Father in heaven, he quoted General Mac-<br />

Arthur, “I shall return!” In the mean time he<br />

entrusted us with the task to continue his<br />

work – bringing healing, reconciliation, and<br />

wholeness to our fragmented world. The<br />

Spirit of Jesus working through us continues<br />

to establish the original Divine Plan for this<br />

world.<br />

• These first weeks of Advent we are reminded<br />

to be “sober and alert, ready and<br />

watchful.” We recall the many people and<br />

events that led up to the first coming of<br />

Christ to help us ready the way for His return.<br />

Closer to December 25 th we shift gears<br />

to focus more on the miracle and joy that<br />

comes with The Divine wrapping Himself up in<br />

the swaddling clothes of our human condition.<br />

• And so, for starters, let’s embrace the<br />

call to prayer and to outreach to those less<br />

fortunate than our selves. Through works of<br />

charity we allow the Lord to make of us a fit<br />

place in which He can dwell more deeply. The<br />

Advent clarion call is, Maranatha! Come Lord<br />

Jesus!!<br />

• We are very grateful to all who organized<br />

our annual “Holly Days.” What a great way to<br />

have a foretaste of Christmas joy. I hope<br />

everyone has a chance to experience some<br />

part of this parish event.<br />

• Be sure to hang up your stockings<br />

Wednesday evening. Thursday is the celebration<br />

of <strong>St</strong>. Nicholas. This bishop from the 4 th<br />

century is a great model for outreach to the<br />

needy and oppressed.<br />

• For Father Nicholas's 60th birthday, the<br />

congregation at <strong>St</strong> Mary's, Newark, England,<br />

decided to give him a present of a new suit.<br />

Father Nicholas was so moved by the gift that the<br />

following Sunday he stood before everyone and began<br />

his homily with a tear in his eye, 'Today I am<br />

preaching to you in my birthday suit.'<br />

ADVENT WREATH<br />

The custom of the Advent wreath dates back to<br />

the folk practices of people in early cultures who<br />

gathered evergreen wreaths and lighted fires as<br />

signs of hope in a coming spring and renewed<br />

light. In ancient Rome, people decorated houses<br />

and public buildings with evergreen wreaths and garland to welcome<br />

a New Year.<br />

Christians continued to practice these traditions and by the 16th<br />

century, Catholics and Protestants throughout eastern Europe<br />

used these symbols to celebrate their Advent hope in Christ.<br />

The use of the Advent wreath spread to other parts of the Christian<br />

world.<br />

LOST & FOUND<br />

PLEASE take a minute to check the lost and found if you<br />

think you’ve left something behind here at Church. There<br />

are eyeglasses, earrings, keys, baseball caps, baby cups and<br />

even a shoe! The lost and found is underneath in the white<br />

cabinet outside of the Great Room, opposite the Food Pantry<br />

Cupboard.<br />

The family of John Bohdalik wishes to extend our deepest gratitude<br />

to everyone who helped by gifts of time, food, money donations, or<br />

love and prayers during his illness and afterwards for his funeral.<br />

No words can ever express what this means to us. Our deepest<br />

thank you also goes to ALL the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>James</strong>’ <strong>St</strong>aff members, for how<br />

they reached out to John when he was not able to work and during<br />

the time he was in hospice care.<br />

For Funeral Visitation, Mass, and luncheon, thank you to Fr. Mike,<br />

Daryl, Deacon Bob, Deacon Mike, Andy Pomeroy, the Choir and<br />

Barb, the Bereavement Committee, the Funeral Luncheon Committee<br />

and Dave and Mark Kenney for the music during the luncheon.<br />

For all friends who helped during and after, in any large or small<br />

way, your kindness was overwhelming.<br />

For those who so generously donated to the two special memorials<br />

John himself requested, $1,000 was given to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>James</strong> and $550 was<br />

given to the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society. There were several<br />

other charities to which donations were made as well, so thank you<br />

all for the gifts that were given.<br />

God Bless you all for your love and prayers,<br />

Reni & Becky Bohdalik<br />

Fields of Hope and Dreams Community Garden<br />

Advent Conspiracy: Spending Less = Giving More. In 2007 a small movement was started by three churches – The<br />

Crossing in <strong>St</strong>. Louis, Imago Dei in Portland and Ecclesia in Houston. The movement is called Advent Conspiracy http://<br />

www.adventconspiracy.org and it’s now worldwide. Its three main goals: 1) Reduce unnecessary stress, debt and the hyper<br />

commercialism of Christmas, 2) Invite “presence” of relationships and reflection about what we are truly celebrating and<br />

3) Work towards wiping out the number one killer on this planet, lack of clean water. (Remember last year’s draught, or <strong>St</strong>.<br />

<strong>James</strong>’ well problems? Our community gardeners were trying to water every day). Here are some statistics to consider:<br />

1) $450 billion is spent in this country during the month of December. Much of it is holiday shopping. 2) At any given time,<br />

half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from a water related disease. 3) 2.2 million people die<br />

every year due to lack of access to clean drinking water. 4) According to the World Bank and United Nations Development<br />

Program, it’s estimated that it would cost $20 billion to solve the global water crisis (i.e. less than 5% of what’s spent in this<br />

country in December). Advent Conspiracy’s four tenets are: 1) Worship Fully: It’s not just going to church; it’s also donating<br />

time, resources and giving of oneself to others. (Catholics call it: time, talent, treasure) Love wins, peace reigns and life<br />

is celebrated. 2) Spend Less: Consider buying one less gift this Christmas. Be more available to people and suffer less<br />

post holiday aftermath (i.e. debt, regret, stress). 3) Give More: Time is the real gift Christmas offers. Be more present to<br />

others this holiday season. 4) Love All: By spending less at Christmas everyone has the opportunity to give to those who<br />

need help the most. Love without borders or boundaries – locally; think of the “Giving Tree” in the gathering space, our<br />

CCOS food pantry and the <strong>St</strong>. Ben’s meal program. Nationally and internationally, think of Catholic Charities or Living Water<br />

International, http://water.cc. If it’s too late to change this Christmas, start the conversation so you can change next year.<br />

And, if you want to join our garden volunteers: call (414) 587-1202 or email pschneider@wi.rr.com<br />

Christian Family Movement (CFM)<br />

Looking for stimulating discussion, faith-based action, and socializing<br />

in the new year? Christian Family Movement (CFM) is<br />

beginning here at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>James</strong>. Individuals and couples are invited<br />

to join! CFM provides a time and place for adult parishioners to<br />

share values, faith, and a place to experience Jesus in their lives<br />

and the lives of their families. CFM is a way of life that develops<br />

everyday Christians. Its goal is to bring people together to<br />

form a faith-filled Christian community guided by love of family,<br />

love of Church and service to others. The format consists of<br />

meeting together monthly in small groups in the homes of parishioners<br />

for scripture reflection, discussion, calls to action, and<br />

socializing. Discussions are based on national CFM materials.<br />

If you are interested in being a part of CFM in 2013, please contact<br />

Peg Flahive in the Christian Formation Office, flahivep@archmil.org<br />

or 262-253-2915. We hope you will consider<br />

joining!<br />

Aluminum Can Drive –<br />

The Aluminum Can Drive is taking place THIS<br />

WEEKEND, December 1st & 2nd. As many of<br />

you know, the Aluminum Can Drives are a fundraiser<br />

for the Mission Trip that takes place in the<br />

summer. The drives are usually held on the 1 st<br />

weekend of the “even” months which means if you<br />

miss this one, the truck will be back in February. ALL proceeds<br />

go towards Mission Trip expenses and scholarship money for Mission<br />

Trip. Please drop cans off in the back of the Maurice Landscaping<br />

truck which will be here some time Saturday morning. To<br />

ensure we receive maximum money for our cans please take them<br />

out of plastic bags. The aluminum cans will be taken to the recycling<br />

center early Monday morning. As always, we ask that you<br />

not drop off cans early or after the truck has been moved as we<br />

have no place to store them. The Mission Trippers thank you in<br />

advance for your support.<br />

Adult Confirmation<br />

If you are a Baptized Catholic who celebrated your First<br />

Communion but not the Sacrament of Confirmation, please<br />

consider attending classes beginning with an orientation<br />

session on either Sunday, January 13 at <strong>St</strong>. Mary <strong>Parish</strong> in<br />

<strong>Menomonee</strong> <strong>Falls</strong> (11:30 AM-1:00 PM), OR Wednesday,<br />

January 16 at Good Shepherd <strong>Parish</strong> in <strong>Menomonee</strong> <strong>Falls</strong><br />

(7:00 – 8:30 PM). Adult Confirmation classes are a collaborative<br />

effort of five local parishes. In 2013 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>James</strong> will not<br />

be a host site, but you are asked to attend classes at either<br />

of the two parishes listed above. Participants have the option<br />

of attending either the Sunday morning or Wednesday<br />

evening classes as your schedule allows. <strong>St</strong>aff members<br />

and volunteers from <strong>St</strong>. <strong>James</strong>, <strong>St</strong>. Agnes, <strong>St</strong>. Mary, <strong>St</strong>. Anthony<br />

and Good Shepherd help with the classes. To register<br />

or for more information and a schedule of classes, please<br />

contact Peg Flahive, 262-253-2915 or flahivep@archmil.org.<br />

Feast of <strong>St</strong>. Nicholas, Advent and<br />

Christmas Gift Ideas<br />

Did you know the Christian Formation Office has three<br />

different Bibles available for purchase? Bibles<br />

make a great Christmas gift for the entire<br />

family. A hardcover “Beginner’s Bible” for<br />

children Pre-K through Grade 2 is available<br />

for $10. A paperback “Catholic Youth Bible”<br />

is available for $20. The (paperback)<br />

“Catholic Faith and Family Bible” is available for $20.<br />

Families might also want to visit a Catholic religious goods<br />

store for additional faith-based gifts. I have found that<br />

stores like <strong>St</strong>emper’s in Milwaukee or the Gift <strong>St</strong>ore at the<br />

Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians<br />

(Holy Hill) in Hubertus have a wide variety of religious<br />

books, art and artifacts, Advent wreaths, religious Christmas<br />

cards and items for children and youth. More information<br />

can be found at www.stempers.com and http://<br />

giftstore.holyhill.com. Other great family resources for Advent<br />

and Christmas are available at http://<br />

www.loyolapress.com and http://<br />
