Stewart Road Closure Begins Tuesday, April 12 Stewart Road will be closed from the North for what is currently estimated at nine weeks beginning on Tuesday, April 12 and reopening on Monday, June 6. These dates are estimates ̶ weather and construction contingencies can impact completion. Red Legacy (Developer) advises they will be lowering the road surface approximately 15 feet. We have developed a plan for traffic flow into and out of St. James ̶ for our Masses, school children drop and pickup and normal church / school activities. This weekend’s bulletin Includes a clearly marked route into and out of the facility. We ask that everyone use this route everyday for all traffic during the Stewart Road closure. We understand that this road closure creates challenges getting into and out of our parking lot. Working together, we can make the best of a difficult situation. We appreciate your understanding.

Thank you to all of the countless volunteers who showed up to help us decorate our church and school gym for Easter. Holy Week & Easter A big thank you to all of our Liturgical Ministers who shared their gifts of time and talent with us. You made our Holy Week and Easter Masses especially wonderful! April 3, 2016 Someone is Watching and Wondering By now I’m sure you are familiar with this image which symbolizes the Jubilee Year of Mercy (December 8, 2015 − November 20, 2016) called by Pope Francis. Reflecting on what this means, I find it difficult to articulate a satisfactory understanding of mercy. Webster defines mercy as compassionate rather than severe behavior towards someone in one’s power; a thing to be thankful for.” Similarly the Catholic Encyclopedia explains mercy as “active, compassion toward another in unfortunate circumstances; an essential form of Christian charity,” requiring “not only a feeling of compassion but also an intention to ease the other’s misfortune if possible.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that mercy is the fruit of charity, and we receive God’s mercy when we confess our sins and forgive others. These parameters, although true, just didn’t seem to reveal the heart of God’s mercy or how I can be “Merciful like the Father.” My next thought was perhaps grace is a synonym for mercy, so I searched for its meaning: “unconstrained and undeserved favor or goodwill, God’s loving mercy displayed to man for the salvation of his soul.” Still bewildered I opened my bible. Wow, the Concordance has three columns referencing mercy. Certainly the Incarnation, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus are obvious examples of His mercy, but the two other passages that struck me the were the crucified criminal who asked for Jesus’ forgiveness, and the women caught in adultery. Both of these individuals had committed sins, both were brought forward for punishment required and justified by law, and Jesus offered both mercy and forgiveness. To the criminal, Jesus said, “today you will be with me in paradise,” and to the women he said, “neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.” From a purely legalistic point of view both of these individuals had broken the law, they were guilty, and under the law there was prescribed punishment. God’s love, however, was greater. He offered forgiveness and compassion. He offered new life. I think He continues to offer the same to each of us. Whenever we honestly confront and confess our sinfulness, He forgives. He welcomes us into His loving embrace, and shows us the possibilities of new life with Him. He doesn’t put conditions or stipulations. He is compassionate and merciful. I think that is also what He asks of me: “Don’t put conditions on forgiveness, love even where guilt is real and punishment necessary. As St. Paul says, faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love.” Perhaps unconditional love and forgiveness are true synonyms for mercy, as we are called to live merciful like the Father.

When I get the final total I will have it posted in our bulletin. Leon and I would like to thank all parishioners who volunteered to make cookies and cakes and those who volunteered to help work the days of the event and to all that came to help clear and take down the table. This helped us tremendously. A big thank you to Fr. Timothy and Mary DiGiovanna for the construction and planning of the design of the table. It was fabulous! Thanks also to the ladies who helped decorate the table ̶ Mary Inzerillo, and Mary Midiri; I know there were others I just can't remember who. There are many more whose help we were thankful for: Those who helped bagging the breads, boxing the cookies and putting the favas with the medals together; the kids who helped keep the tables and hall clean and who worked at the raffle and candle table; Kathy Herr for helping get donations; the Sprofera family who helped with whatever was asked of them and gave us support when needed. And also the kitchen help: Leon, John Vernickas, Roger Arthur, Carl Inzerillo, Larry Donnici, and Bruce Carter. And of course to Judy Keisling for getting the word out about the table and helping organize the volunteer slips. And finally to the merchants for their donations: both Liberty Price Choppers, HyVee, Giovanni’s Restaurant, Red Lobster, The Landing, and Premium Packaging Group. By now everyone receiving the sacrament of Confirmation on April 11th, should have completed their interviews and be ready to receive the Sacrament on April 11. I need all baptismal certificates (unless baptized at St. James), sponsor forms and letters turned in. Sacrament of Confirmation PRACTICE AND SPONSOR RETREAT April 10th 2:00PM-4:00PM Sponsors must be present. If they can not attend please bring someone to stand in their place.
