Eucharistic people who treasure our Catholic

Did You Know?
“IT BEARS REPEATING” We are preparing to go to
Phase II of our effort to beef up security. It will include
MAG Locks on the door to the social hall closest to the
school office as well as a camera and push button pad
to control and monitor access to the school through
that door. A MAG Lock and push button pad will be
installed on the upper level gym entry and the lock and
remote access system on the school’s front door will
be renovated as required. Cameras will be installed to
allow us to monitor the play ground in the rear of the
church, as well as a camera in the concession area in
front of the gym. Thanks again to the PTO for funding
these security enhancements.
Thank you! — Jim Newell

Mass Intentions
From the Pastor’s Pen
As we journey through the month of August, we know
this month is a ''hectic time for families---beginning
school, many young people leaving home for the first
time, and all kinds of other emotions and feelings and
'new
experiences'. Know of our thoughts and prayers for all
families this time of year.
When I last wrote a "Pastor's Pen", I wrote in gratitude
for the tremendous response of folks in sending cards,
thoughts and prayers as I was battling some health issues.
Well, those 'battles with health issues' are on-going! But
I am still MOST grateful for the get well cards, the birthday cards, and the prayers. The response has been so
overwhelming, and I once again want to share with you
how grateful I am for being here at St. James---THANKS
SO MUCH!
As we prepare for school to begin this coming week--know that we still have some openings here at St. James
that provides a wonderful Catholic educational opportunity for you and your family. Please contact the school if
you are interested. This week we also celebrate the
Feast of the Assumption on Thursday, Aug. 15th--a Holy
Day of Obligation. Masses will be at 6:30 am, 9 am
(School Mass) and 7 pm.
As the beginning of the school year demands a more
rigorous schedule, we appreciate all those who have
been so faithful to their weekly giving. Part of being a
good steward is to be faithful to giving back to God from
all that God has given us--and that is done on a regular
basis.
And to those who have been faithful to their building fund
commitments, we are MOST grateful!!
Again, it takes all of us doing our part to continue the
good work that God has begun among us.
Be sure to mark your calendars for the upcoming Holy
Smoke BBQ offered by our “Do-Dad's”. Last year was a
tremendous success---and we know this years’ event will
also be a great success. Come and join us on Friday
evening, August 23 and Saturday, August 24!
May you and your families know God's continued
Blessings and Hope.
Peace, Fr. Mike

7/30/13 BLOOD DRIVE RESULTS
Even though the summer months are usually the
time when donor turnout is not the best because of
vacations, etc., we had a great turnout for the last
blood drive. The Community Blood Center
registered 117 donors and collected 112 units of life
-saving blood. On behalf of the CBC and local
patients, THANK YOU DONORS AND
VOLUNTEERS for helping to make this a successful summer drive! Your efforts are commendable!
“Thank you” doesn’t always seem to be enough to
convey just how important you are to this ministry. I
often have the opportunity to hear from blood
recipients and their families and in the words of one
very grateful mother whose family was blessed with
your generosity, “You have no idea how much this
means to me & my family!” God Bless you all for
your continued support and gifts of life! We look
forward to seeing you again at our next blood drive
on Tuesday, September 24th.

Someone is Watching and Wondering
Conversion is grace, pure gift from
God. The Greek work metanoia “to
turn and see again” describes both
“conversion” and “repentance”. It
conveys the idea of understanding
old ideas with a fresh mind, clearer eyes, and an open heart. The
catechumenate is a process of metanoia, receiving God’s grace,
Beginning Wednesday, August 7th at 7:00pm that requires preparatory steps and support of a faith community

open to its own on-going conversion.
The first step: a willingness to live with ambiguity; moving from
rehearsals. Anyone that enjoys music and

is a problem to be solved” to “life is a mystery that unfolds.”

Second:

contact Danny in the Liturgy/Music Office. We community. It is trendy to speak of being “spiritual but not
hope to see lots of new faces on August 7th! religious.” Such spirituality is an illusion. Community tests our
spiritual growth and conviction to follow Christ. Without community
we live un-confronted lives. We cannot profess to be Catholic
pretending God is far away in some spiritual realm. He is present
among us. How we treat one another is truly how we love and
serve God. Fourth: naming sin and repenting. A healthy realization
of sin and how to repent from life patterns that bring pain to our
human family is essential for conversion. Do I recognize my fault;
am I willing to change; can I stop blaming others? Fifth: seeking
silence. Our culture is full of business. We need an inner place of
simply being, remembering we are created in God’s image. Silence
and resting in God leads to the path of holiness. Six: service.
More than just another task added to our hectic lives, service is a
mental attitude: Do I consciously put the needs of others before my
own, try to understand their behavior, showing compassion and
empathy? Seven: letting go of false idols. Where do I seek security: in social standing, reputation, ideas, wealth, self-image? Eighth:
community symbols and rituals. Do I experience deeper communion with God through the rites of the church? Am I aware of God’s
presence and call? Ninth: faithfulness and obedience. Obedience
is not blind acquiescence to higher authority, but rather living with a
deep humility, embracing our humanity. Faithfulness is consenting
to remain in situations that are demanding or difficult. Although we
must evaluate when circumstances become too overwhelming,
most of us recognize that we grow spiritually, when we make it
though the tough times. Tenth: discipleship and friendship with
Christ. Understanding the Gospel with new insight reveals what
Jesus is asking; being challenged by the vision Jesus gives.
Conversion is a grand invitation to the ups and downs of life. We
do not have to literally die to experience heaven on earth.
However, we must respond to God’s ongoing call to fall more deepChildren's Choir is open to children in

H.O.P.E. / SCRIP GIFT CARD NEWS
Last Call for School Shopping
School starts in a few days and
chances are there are still a few
things on your shopping list that
you’ll need to pick up this week.
There are still plenty of “back to school” sales, so
before you shop, be sure to pick up HOPE gift
cards for the stores where you’ll be looking for
those last minute items. We have HOPE gift cards
in stock for many of the stores where you’ll likely
shop.
When your shopping is done, treat yourself to a
movie at B&B (Liberty 12) Theater. We receive
20% of the cost of every B&B card sold from this
generous merchant.
After the movie, relax with a meal or a snack at
one of our local eateries. Places that return 9% or
more from the sale of HOPE cards include Chili’s,
Chipotle, Cracker Barrel, Dish Pizza, Firehouse
Subs, Landing Eatery & Pub, McDonalds, Olive
Garden, Panera, Papa’s Coffee, Red Robin,
Schlotzsky’s and Sonic.
HOPE Gift Cards are sold after every weekend
Mass and in the Parish Office during regular
business hours.
Thank You for Buying HOPE Gift Cards
Your Purchase Makes A Difference
Reminder: if every one used the Gift Cards
from our local Grocers alone it would bring in
a substantial profit, not to mention how much
added profit we would make from all other
merchants. Thank you!

Don’t Forget about Prayer
There is never a time when prayer isn’t the
thing to do. All you need to pray is JUST DO IT.
There is no right or wrong way. God always
wants what is truly best for you. Sometimes
God gives you things, and sometimes God
waits for you to ask. ASK! Pester God! God
puts up well with being pestered. Trust God to
do what is really good for you. God creates you,
loves you, and wants you to be happy. He also
wants you to talk to Him.

St. James School News
School Mission Statement
The St. James Catholic School Community, a
ministry of the parish, empowers students to achieve
their full academic and Christian potential, become
prayerful, lifelong learners and good
stewards of God’s gifts.
Have you done something good for your heart lately? St. James Physical Education classes saved
over 5,000 lives during the 2012-2013 school year!
Students raised $11,667.11 for the American Heart
Association during the annual Jump Rope and
Hoops for Heart events. CPR training costs about
$50.00 per person. After raising over $11,000.00,
the students figured over 5,000 lives were saved!
Since about 1992, St. James Students have raised
over $70,000.00 to help fight heart
disease. While the kids enjoyed all types of
jumping, shooting baskets and exercising, they
learned how to keep their hearts healthy. Heart
healthy exercises and heart healthy nutrition
lessons were the focus during the exciting event.
This event landed St. James School as one of the
top ten schools in Missouri for donating to The
American Heart Association in the combined Jump
Rope and Hoops for Heart events.

5
GREAT REASONS to Patronize the
Merchants in Our Church Bulletin!
1. They support the work of our church.
2. It keeps money in our community. For every $100 spent at a
locally owned business, $68 goes back into the community
and your tax base. For every $100 spent at a chain store,
only $43 comes back. Online purchases bring nothing
back to our local community.
3. Keeps our community unique. Where we shop, where
we eat and have fun—all of it makes our community
home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part
of the distinctive character of our community.
4. Creates more good jobs. Small local
businesses are the largest employer
nationally and in our community.
5. Get better service. Local businesses
often hire people with a better
understanding of the products
they are selling and take more time
to get to know customers.

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
