A Reflection…

Greetings – Happy July – Happy Summer!

Rom 8:26-27
Mt 13:24-43 [24-30]
For many people this is their favorite time of year – summer days, summer BBQs,
days at the pool and vacation time with family and friends. I am hopeful these are
good days for you and your family. A couple of weeks ago, I went down to Orlando,
Florida to celebrate my sister and brother in law’s 25th Wedding Anniversary. It was
a fun celebration… with all the usual components: family, friends, music, food, and
as always a few surprises! Twenty-five years ago my parents and the 4 of us ‘kids’,
had a family portrait taken the day before the wedding; during this last visit we
agreed to take another family portrait of all 6 of us – sitting in the same order, ready
to smile like we did 25 years ago! Of course, all of us are a bit older and wiser this
time around. My immediate family lives in New York, New Jersey, Florida and Illinois
– so to have all of us together for the photo was wonderful! As I compared the 2
photos… it made me truly reflect on all that has transpired during those 25 years…
nieces, a nephew, new addresses, new jobs, graduations, health issues, and the
more obvious changes… clothing, hair, weight gain / loss… etc…! All of it passes
us by quickly in retrospect – but it all comes down to gratitude. How can I or any of
us not be filled with gratitude when we come together to celebrate, to remember, to
reminisce…? It is God’s gift to each of us to have the ability to look back and
remember not only the changes in hairstyles, but the kindnesses that were
extended to us, the laughing that wouldn’t stop at a silly joke and the reconciliations
that needed to happen. In all families, there are good days and bad days – talking
and no-talking days, there are busy days full of chaos and days of loneliness and
anxiousness. Within all of this is God’s grace, helping us to maneuver through the
difficult times and celebrating with us on the days that seem to go by rather smoothly!
All of it is real – and I would hope, as
Catholic Christians, we look at all of these
dimensions of our lives in the context of
God’s unfailing love, accompanying us
through all of it. I am sure this is very
basic and true for many, but sometimes,
we need a reminder…sometimes we need
a celebration in our lives to look back, to
ponder all that has been and to give thanks
for where we are today and where we may
be called in the future. So this summer,
as you and family and friends gather to
celebrate at a backyard party, or a wedding
or even a funeral, celebrating one’s passing into the joy of eternal life… remember to
look back with gratitude… to ponder the blessings in your life and enjoy the life God
has given to each of us!
Wishing You Many Blessings – Marianne

SPIRITUAL LIFE
St. James Ministry of Praise
The Ministry of Praise is a spiritual ministry in which members offer
their prayers to God to help others in need. This ministry was developed especially for the sick and homebound so that they can experience a closer relationship with the parish. Their prayers will provide a
wealth of spiritual treasures that can bring God’s blessings on themselves and on the parish at large. There are no dues or meetings. If
you or a loved one is interested in participating in this ministry, please
contact parishioner Marilyn Neuman at 224-345-7200 or
[email protected]
Now and at the Hour of Our Death
Now and at the Hour of Our Death is a practical guide for families
regarding topics of medical treatment, finances, and death and funeral
arrangements. Its purpose is to encourage informed decision making
and discussion among family members.
The book offers an outline of the Church’s funeral rite, with helpful
information and suggestions, and assists in making preparations for
the wake and funeral liturgy. There is also a section that presents consumer information about funerals, burial and cremation.
This book is available in the Parish Office for $5.00. If you have
any questions, please contact Marianne Dilsner, Pastoral Associate,
at 224-345-7203.

Exodus Trekker
Note: The following introduction to an interview with our Pastor, Fr. Matt Foley, was
originally posted October 27, 2014 in the bulletin. He had arrived here the previous
August. It will again be posted during the entire week of July 13th.
To read the entire story of Fr. Matt’s warzone experience in Afghanistan and several
other interviews of parish members you might know, type in your computer’s address bar:
http://exodus trekkers.blogspot.com/ Or, you can reach it by going to “stjamesah.org” and
then typing “Exodus Trekkers” in the search window. Clicking on that will take you to
“Blogs.” Click on that and you’ll be on the launch page. The regular Trekker schedule will
resume at the end of September.
“It was beautiful. We would have singing and great prayer.”
It was a Catholic Mass alright, but not the kind which the St. James parishioner is ever likely to participate in.
This one, as described by our Pastor, Fr. Matt, was held in an undisclosed location in Afghanistan. A few miles
away were Taliban-planted road mines and the frequent sound of mortar and small arms fire. And then there
were our helicopters coming in with the wounded. Ministering to them and to the dying was all part of Fr. Matt’s
job. But thank God for Sunday Mass (actually celebrated on Saturday night) that he celebrated for our men and
women in uniform, including a two-star general….
=====================================================================================
Lutheran Home Mass
Here is a great opportunity to pray with our elderly parishioners and friends. Join us every Wednesday at 10:15am
for Mass at the Lutheran Home, 800 W. Oakton St. in Arlington Heights. We are seeking musicians and singers for
Mass. Please contact Fr. Matt at the Parish Office, 224-345
-7222.
HELP!!
St. James Theater Ministry
Needs Your Help!
Do you or someone you know have an empty
garage or storage facility near St. James which
can be donated for our ministry? We are in
need of a place to store our lumber (2X4’s,
2X6’s, Plywood sheets, etc.) from the end of
July until early May. Each year we disassemble our sets and reuse the lumber to help keep
costs down; however, we have lost our space
due to the selling of the property. We need
approximately 500 square ft. or a decent size
garage. If you can help, please contact Robert
Sanetra at 630-247-4687.

St James… In Mission
Dominican Republic: The St James Mission Trip to the NPH Orphanage in the Dominican Republic scheduled
for October 25 – November 1, 2014 is moving along with approximately 15 volunteers signed up! During our
recent meeting, we discussed possible work projects in the local community doing home improvements, home
extensions, etc… We also talked about engaging the children in social and recreational activities and medical
services. We practiced the “Our Father / Padre Nuestro” in Spanish and it was suggested that participants begin
a journal to begin reflecting on this wonderful opportunity.
Haiti: The St James Mission Trip to Haiti is also being finalized and will take place in January, 2015. This trip
is being organized by our Peace and Justice Committee and has been in dialogue with Fr. Pascal of the Les
Cayes Diocese. Fr. Pascal has expressed an interest that our Haiti volunteers build and establish gardens in
local schools… not only to provide food for school lunches, but to teach the students (and local community
members) about caring for the land, cultivating the land and harvesting the food. This is an exciting project
being undertaken and developed that will bring about change for some people in Haiti.
India: A Mission trip to India with Tom and Geetha of FCN (Family and Children in Need) is also being
formulated at this time and details will be here soon!
===========================
It is anticipated that other mission trips will be undertaken and planned in the months ahead.
These trips will be open to College Students and Young Adults!
Sr. Faustina, our new Director of Youth Ministry will be working to coordinate future mission trips for our
High School Students!
Mission trips are more than going and doing – they are about leaving one’s comfort zone, to encounter a new
reality, oftentimes, one that is completely new and different from one’s own. Mission trips are a process, an experience of transformation for both the hosts and guests – it is good work because it is GOD’s work and we are
the heart and hands of our loving God – responding to an awesome invitation to be with brothers and sisters - in
prayer, work, fun and companionship. As we all move forward on our faith / life journeys… As Kathy McGourty
noted in a recent communication to the Haiti volunteers, “we will share our stories…” Despite language barriers,
sharing stories thru pictures, smiles and cooperation… new friends are made, respect is generated and honoring
one another as members of the Body of Christ is really what it is all about.
For those not physically going on a mission trip this year, please consider becoming a “Prayer Partner” for the
success and safety of these endeavors! More information regarding this opportunity will be in the bulletin soon!
