We, the community of St. James, are a prayerful and
Eucharistic people who treasure our Catholic
traditions. We strive to grow in our faith by being good
stewards of the gifts God has given us; sharing God’s
truth with all. As the Body of Christ, we are called to love
and serve everyone, especially the marginalized, with
joy and hospitality.
The Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph is committed to combating sexual
abuse in the Church. If you are a victim of sexual abuse, or if you observe
or suspect sexual abuse:
1. Call the Missouri Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-392-3738 (if the victim is
currently under the age of 18),
2. Contact your local law enforcement agency or call 911, and After reporting
to these civil and law enforcement authorities, report suspected sexual
abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult to the Diocesan Ombudsman, Jenifer
Valenti, at 816-812-2500 or JeniferValenti@att.net, if the abuse involves a
priest, deacon, employee or volunteer of the Diocese of Kansas City-St.
Joseph.

From the Pastor’s Pen
Mass Intentions
As we celebrate this month of November, we are grateful
for all that is happening here at St. James!
As we recall our beloved dead, and all those gone before
us, we are reminded we are carrying one of the Corporal
Works of Mercy---'to bury the dead'.
We are also grateful for the tremendous response to our
annual Advent Giving Tree--and to all who are so generous in
giving of their time, talent and treasure to carry this beautiful
tradition of serving the poor and needy this Advent.
A reminder that the Liberty Ministerial Alliance will be
hosting their annual community-wide Thanksgiving service at
7 pm on Tuesday, November 25th. This year’s ecumenical
service will be held at the new Liberty United Methodist
Church - Rush Creek campus. You are invited to come and
join us as we give thanks to God as a community!
Also in the month of November, we thank you for your
generosity to St. James! This year we are not having a formal
annual pledge drive for our annual appeal Recently we were
all invited to 'come on board' to support our Building Fund
campaign. With our new parking lot in the process of being
finished, we are hoping that spirit will carry us to look to the
future, and help our new church become a reality!
In the meantime, we still have a responsibility to give
annually - on a weekly/monthly basis - so that our parish can
continue to offer our ministries and support the regular
operations of our parish. We are very grateful to all who are
such good and faithful stewards!
Lastly, just a request: from time to time, we have families
approach us who are going through difficult financial
struggles, due to the loss of a premature child, or other tragic
circumstances. We try to help them in various ways, but
sometimes the requests are beyond our reach. If you could
financially help with these families ‘get back on their feet’,
after having been off work and having other unexpected
financial burdens, we would deeply appreciate it. If you would
send the donation to me personally, I promise to make sure it
goes to a family in need. Thanks again for your caring and
generosity, and continuing to help those among us in need.
May we all be grateful for God's generosity among us, and
live that gratitude out in all that we do!
- Peace, Fr. Mike

Someone is Watching and Wondering
I think it is safe to say that many of you, like me,
receive an abundance of catalogs in the mail. I also
think it likely that you discard them without even a
single glance at the contents. That is usually the
case for me, however, once in awhile I take a
gander to see what is being offered. A simple
glance last week brought a true treasure; a simple
verse, exactly what I needed to hear. I want to
share that verse with you, and perhaps you will find
comfort, especially this month as we remember
loved ones who have died.
“If I could talk with you right now,
I would tell you that I love you,
I’d ask that you not cry for me
or be sad that we’re apart.
I would embrace you with a good long hug
and warm you with a smile,
I’d take your tears and all your fears
and give you all my joy.
I would tell you that God is great
in all His magnificent glory,
that I live in light and dwell in love
and am home in heaven’s story.
And before I was through
with my moments spent with you,
I would take your hands in mine
and tell you a little something
so wonderful about time.
I’d say that we will join paths again
in sunshine and in joy,
because the life on earth goes fast,
the bonds of love forever last.”
“Beloved we are God’s children now, what we will
be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is
this, when He is revealed, we will be like Him, for we
will see Him as He is.” John 3:2

Corporal Work for November
FALL BLOOD DRIVE
‘Tis the Season!
The holiday season is upon us
and there are
so many things to do.
As you make out your to-do-list,
please don’t forget
to include “DONATE BLOOD”.
Many local patients will be spending the holidays in
the hospital without your generous donation.
Join us in our efforts to help others have a
blessed holiday by attending our next
Community Blood Center blood drive
on Tuesday, November 25th
from 12:30-7:00 pm
in the social hall.
Appointments are encouraged and you can sign up
online at www.savealifenow.org using sponsor code
‘stjames’ or contact Nikki Power at 816-407-1208 or
kpower@kc.rr.com. For medical eligibility
questions, please call 1-800-245-7035.
Walk-ins are welcome and childcare is available.
Each registered donor will receive a KC Chiefs
t-shirt while supplies last.
Volunteers are an essential part of each blood drive
and we are looking for friendly faces to help staff the
refreshment table and babysitting area. A few extra
helping hands around 7 pm to help with cleanup
would also be appreciated. Please contact Nikki if
you would like to help. Service hours will be
available for students.
Now go get started on that to-do-list
and we’ll see you on the 25th!
Corporal Work for November is Bury the Dead.
To follow this work, we are called to take action
and support all who are facing death. We are
called to help ease their suffering regardless of
the circumstances surrounding their passing.
But how?
• Provide companionship, be a good listener,
have compassion.
• Offer prayers for the terminally ill, and for the
peace and comfort of surviving family.
• Urge those who have difficulty in coping to
seek pastoral or professional counseling.
• Support organizations which care for the
dying and those that offer grief counseling.
•Attend funeral or wake services; your
presence can mean so much to survivors.
In addition, we should also work to address
the underlying health and social justice
issues which contribute to untimely deaths.
Be sure to visit the Narthex and our Altar of
the Dead. We invite you to place the name of
a loved one who has passed in our Parish
Book of the Dead also you are invited to add
a picture of a loved one to our altar.

Corporal Works of Mercy: Bury the Dead
This month’s Our Works of Mercy project is Bury The
Dead. This can be a difficult one to confront, as it often
pushes us to grapple with our own feelings of grief and
loss. We encourage all families to write their deceased
loved ones' names in our Parish Book of the Dead, which
is being prominently displayed in the Narthex. We also
invite you to bring in a photo of your loved ones to hang in
our display. The display will be up all
month and we invite and encourage you
to participate.
The stories that we will be reading this
month in our Opening Prayer time all
feature characters coming to terms with
the loss of a loved one. As Catholics, we
hold closely the importance of remembering those who
have gone before us. November is a good month to talk
about those we love whom have died.
Suggestions for ways to live out this Work of
Mercy:
•Attend wakes and/or funerals of those you knew.
•Volunteer with a hospice program.
•Supply a dish for a funeral luncheon.
•Help a widow or widower in need with yard work or errands.
•Visit the cemetery and pray for the dead.
•Donate to ministries that help fund burials for those who
are unable to afford one.
First Reconciliation News
This week begins the readiness
interviews for First Reconciliation. If you
have not already set up your appointment,

Genius. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday crunch, please

calendar!
You should also have received a Signup Genius for your
First Reconciliation service date. If you need to change
your date once you have signed up, please be sure to
update the Signup Genius as well, so that your child's
certificate is there on the night of your chosen service.

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.
Advent Giving Tree
This year’s Penny Carnival collected
$873 in change for our adopted
families. The money will be used to
purchase items for families from the
parish Advent Giving Tree.
ARTIST OF THE WEEK
ELEENA SALAZAR:
Kindergarten Student
The students learned
about different types of
lines and colors. They
also reviewed how to hold
a brush and paint various
strokes. Eleena’s painting
represents her new knowledge of lines and
how to use the color wheel. Lastly, Eleena
checked to make sure she had included the
primary and secondary colors in her artwork.
Eleena used the LIFESKILLS of Cooperation,
Curiosity, and Problem Solving while making
her project. Perfect painting, Eleena!
SJS Do-Dads
We would like to invite all dads, uncles,
grandfathers and friends (parishioners and
school families) to join the SJS Do-Dads!
The Do-Dads are fathers, family and friends
coming together to help serve the needs of the
parish and school. The Do-Dads are men who
offer their time, talent and treasure to raise
funds and perform various improvement
projects for the St. James community. It’s a
great way to meet parish and school
members. This meeting will provide information
on upcoming projects and events!

Covarrubias
“O God of tender mercies, pour forth
your light over the hearts of your faithful
people: and graciously listening to the
glorious prayers of St. Elizabeth, make
us to think little of worldly prosperity
and to be ever gladdened by heavenly
consolation, through our Christ our
Lord. Amen.”
St. Elizabeth of Hungary was born of a royal family. She
married, had 3 children, was widowed, and died at an
early age. In spite of her wealth, she lived a simple life
devoted to the care of the sick and poor.

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.
