From the Pastor’s Pen
Kansas summers can be hot and dry. In the middle of wheat
harvest, we prayed for hot dry weather so that the harvest
could be done quickly. The only thing worse than a thunderstorm in the middle of harvest is a lightening storm. I can still
remember one summer when the wind started blowing from
every direction and before the rain hit, lightening lit up the sky.
It was a beautiful display of dancing lines. The next thing I remember is my dad running towards the tractor yelling at me to
get the combine out of the field. Lightening had struck and lit
the stubble on fire. The field was near the house and the last
thing we wanted was a fire anywhere near the shelterbelt or
house. My dad jumped on the tractor, shifted into high gear and
tore across the yard with the disc in tow. He made several
passes back and forth to create a fire barrier of overturned dirt.
Back and forth we went widening the path of black dirt. As the
wind shifted directions and the fire headed towards the house,
we were praying it would not jump the fire barrier. We were
lucky that it didn’t. Fire and wind can create great excitement
and energy. People come alive and things happen quickly.
This weekend we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost. Wind –
fire – we are talking vitality, excitement and energy! The early
disciples came alive to share the good news. A fire was lit
under them to be on fire with the Spirit. Just as the wind blows
where it will, so to does the Holy Spirit blow where it will.
I have watched fires burn and come alive and die out. I’ve
seen small sparks ignite with the gust of wind and become a
ragging inferno. I’ve witness the destruction of fire that has
gotten out of control. I’ve been beaten down by gusty winds
and had dirt and twigs thrown in my face. I have been lifted off
my feet when flying a kite on a hot, windy Kansas day.
That’s the life of the Holy Spirit that we welcome and
celebrate this Pentecost Sunday. The wind that breathes new
life into us, the fire that burns deep within, the Spirit that grabs
us and won’t let go is the gift of the Holy Spirit we celebrate. It’s
alive, it’s moving, it’s destroying, it’s renewing, it’s wondering,
and it’s scary. The breathe of the Holy Spirit is as gentle as a
morning breeze or as gusty as hurricane winds. What excitement and energy!
May the gift of the Holy Spirit burn bright in our hearts and
send us forth to share the good news.
Fr. Timothy

Blood Drive - May 26
Each year, St. James hosts 6 blood
drives to help Community Blood Center
meet their daily demands for local patients. Last year was a difficult year for
CBC because blood donations were
down while the demand for blood had increased.
There were often blood shortages and St. James
was called upon to help with an extra drive as well.
The generosity and support of the donors that come
to our drives are both remarkable and inspiring and
it is with great pride that we share with you that St.
James was recently recognized as a Top Organization of 2014 by the Community Blood Center.
We would like to say thank you to our donors and
honor you at our next blood drive.
Tuesday, May 26th from 12:30-7:00 pm
in the Social Hall
Appointments to donate can be made online at
www.savealifenow.org using sponsor code
‘stjames’ or you may contact Nikki Power at 816407-1208 or kpower@kc.rr.com.
We are asking for volunteers to help with our childcare area, refreshment table and clean-up after the
drive. Please contact Nikki if you can help. Service
hours are available for students. For donor eligibility
questions, please call 1-800-245-7035.
We look forward to seeing you on the 26th and
THANK YOU ST. JAMES’ DONORS for all that you
do to save lives!
Attention Veterans

Veteran’s Benefits on Thursday, May 28.

Someone is Watching and Wondering
As we come to the end of our school year, we want
to extend a huge THANK YOU to the families who
bring their kids to Saturday practices and teach the
importance of service to their children.
This year’s Children’s Choir has worked especially
hard in preparing to lead Masses twice a month. In
addition, they performed at our annual Lessons and
Carols service, and lead the music at Christmas,
Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday and Easter.
BRAVO to our parents for this commitment! LOUD
APPLAUSE to our children for singing so well!

Sunday, May 24th - 11:00am Mass
Youth Choir (please arrive at 10:30)
Several years ago I was at the chancery office complaining to a friend when she reminded me “You are the
Church!” Since that time I have heard her words re-echo
in my mind many times, and they seem especially significant today, as we celebrate the BIRTHDAY OF THE
CHURCH. If it is true that I am the Church, and you are
the Church, then is today also a celebration of our birthdays? In a word, Yes! At our baptism we were re-born in
Christ, and as He gave us the gift of His Spirit we entered
into a unique union with Him and His body, the Church.
St Paul states, “For in the one Spirit we were all baptized
into one body.” (I Cor 12:13, NRSV) At Confirmation we
personally acknowledged the Holy Spirit’s presence in
our lives, and re-affirmed a desire for God’s grace, and
spiritual gifts, so that we too, as part of His body, might
contribute to the growth and health of His Church.
Before Jesus ascended into heaven He told the apostles:
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I
have commanded you. And remember, I am with you
always, to the end of the age (Matt 28:19-20) So, it
seems an obvious conclusion that Jesus’ great commission didn’t end with the original disciples, but continues
through you and I by virtue of the Initiation Sacraments
we received. At the Last Supper Jesus said: “love one
another, just as I have loved you. . .by this everyone will
know that you are my disciples.” (John 13:34-35) Later
in Chapter 14 He continued: “If you love me, you will
keep my commandments. . . I will ask the Father, and He
will give you another Advocate. . . the Spirit of truth.” The
remainder of Chapter 14 is a beautiful reassurance of His
presence.
Today, as we remember the great evangelizing voices of
Peter, James, John, Paul and the other disciples, I suggest we celebrate our Birthday in Christ, and our vocation as His body, the Church. We must be His voices to
our world. We must act, speak, and love as He taught.
We must open our hearts to His Grace. We must be willing to serve the good of the other. We must embrace all
His children with abundant, unconditional love. Today let
us re-open ourselves to His Spirit, in celebration of Pentecost.

Question Asked
Q: What is Cathedraticum?
A: A Latin word derived from the word Cathedra; a
sum paid to the bishop from parishes. Every parish
throughout the world supports their dioceses and in
turn supports the Holy Sea- the greater church. Although it has under gone many changes over the
years, this offering has been part of canon law since
the 6th century. In our dioceses these funds help to
support many good works, such as Catholic Charities and inner-city parish programs.
Q: How is this different than the “assessment” referenced on the parking lot?
A: The “assessment” on our parish for the building
of the parking lot is in addition to our Cathedraticum.
It was an amount specified for St. Michael the Archangel H.S. as a condition for us to move forward on
the building of our parking lot.
Other questions or concerns regarding our parish
finances can be directed to Katie in the parish office.

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.
