From Our Pastor

Page 3 January 7, 2018

Today’s Gospel recounts the visit of the Magi, bringing our Christmas season officially to an end. We enter now into ordinary time. But we know, as the Magi knew in their hearts, that this would be no ‘ordinary’ time. From now on nothing would be the same. From now on, God Himself has taken on our humanity. Born impoverished in a dirty stable, Jesus would bring together Jews and Gentiles, shepherds and kings alike. As Pope Francis mentioned in his New Year’s Day message, it is in the “silence” of the manger scene that “we allow Jesus to speak to our heart: his smallness tears down our pride, his poverty disturbs our pomp, and his tenderness moves our hard hearts.”

As the star guided the Magi, our God offers to guide us today. We may not want to follow where He will take us, afraid the journey will be too lonely or just too hard. We may prefer the joy and ease of Christmas where our Lord asks nothing more than to recognize Him; to love Him. But the story does not end in the stable, or in the temple. It goes on the road, so to speak: to Galilee, Jerusalem and a forlorn hill on the outskirts of a city. The story continues in service and sacrifice – for our benefit.

What our God asks of us now is to serve others; for again as Pope Francis said, “to serve human life is to serve God.” By now, most of us have put away the decorations; the crèche safely packed until next December. But let us not keep the good will and kindness we have felt these past weeks hidden away in a closet. There are many opportunities in which you can let that “star of wonder” guide you. Seek out ways to bring peace into your homes; argue less, forgive more. Seek out ways to bring solace to the poor; volunteer your time or your skills. Seek out ways to bring Christ into your heart; pray more, partake of the Sacraments more, ask for God’s mercy through Confession.

Then, for us, this will be no ordinary time. ~Fr. Posey

THANK YOU to our volunteers who made our Advent and Christmascelebrations so beautiful. Our musicians under the direction of Dan Day heralded our Savior’s birth with great talent. We would not have been able to sing so joyfully were it not for our Confirmandi class who assisted Marissa Johannes in changing the 2017 Mass books for 2018. Our ushers and liturgical ministers brought Christ to parishioners and visitors alike in hospitality and sacrament. Special thanks to DonnaMaria Duatscheck, Linda Doyle, Lori Koch, Judy Rybak, Estella Arciaga, Vince Dufrane, Emily Dufrane, Miguel Cruz and Sig who decorated the Church. I appreciate the efforts of Jonie Lisbeth and Rosalinda Digal who tended our plants; and Marian Starr, Rosemarie Calabrese, Teri Derosiers, Verna Sattler, Amy Hernandez, Anne Giaccico, and Chuck and Beth Fidler who care for our altar linens and vestments.

To my brother priests, our IHM Sisters and deacons: thank you for your witness. Thanks as well to my staff whose efforts are very much appreciated. The entire Rectory is grateful for the many treats delivered. Everyone enjoyed them! Most especially, thank you my dear sisters and brothers for your prayers and support throughout the year. God bless, Fr. Posey

ST. JAMES HISPANIC COMMUNITY

The St. James Hispanic Community is a “parish within a parish,” says Teresa Matos, the community coordinator since 2009. The community began to grow when Father Kevin Walsh celebrated Mass in Spanish for the first time at St. James in May 1998. Even earlier,

Father Keith Ramey worked through the Social Outreach Committee with Hispanic families in the Ellison Street neighborhood. During the first decade of the 21st Century, under various leadership, the Hispanic community began to claim the 2:30 p.m. Sunday Mass as the heart of their ministry.

When Teresa became coordinator, she asked herself, “How can I make this home?” Then Father José Hoyos, diocesan director of the Spanish Apostolate came on the scene. Father Hoyos and Teresa determined that “our job was to fill the church.” The number of cars in the parking lot on Sunday afternoon tes-

tifies to the ongoing achievement of that goal. Two-thirty Mass on Sunday is the source and fountain of life in the Hispanic community.

Fourteen ministries and groups have evolved, each headed by a member of the community--all the liturgical ministries, e.g. lectors, Eucharistic ministers, musicians, altar servers andushers are 30 strong; RCIA and baptism preparation;catechists and assistants; Legion of Mary; charismatic prayergroups. A thriving religious education class has evolved foradults.

Teresa has ordered white shirts, embroidered in red with the St. James logo and the words, St. James Catholic Church, to identify, “the volunteer ministers who serve the parish. They are part of making the Hispanic community so great.” A pin will go with each shirt to name the ministry.

After some initial exploration by her predecessor Sister Joyce, St. James Director of Religious Education Sister Regina Rosarii brought PREP (Parish Religious Education Program) to the Hispanic community in 2013. The Hispanic parents wanted a more struc-tured program for their children preparing for the sacraments. Classes, before the 2:30 Sunday Mass, have 150 students enrolled. Twenty catechists and assistants from the Hispanic community teach, using bilingual texts. First Communions are celebrated

within the community at 2:30 Mass, and Confirmandi from the Hispanic community join the other St. James students for Confirmation.

The Hispanic community is home to many cultures within a common language. Feast days of various countries and regions are celebrated at the 2:30 Sunday Mass. “Everybody’s equal,” Teresa says, “Nobody is better than another.” Word goes out to the surrounding area that something good is happening at 2:30 on Sundays at St. James, and hundreds come to join in the celebrations. Weekly Sunday Mass as well as the big celebrations--Palm Sunday, Easter, Our Lady of Gua-dalupe--reflect the spirit, the colors and sounds of a people who pray from deep within their culture. “Something good is happening at the 2:30 Mass at St. James. It feels like home.”
