You are the #Missing Type
The St. Elizabeth Ann Blood Drive is Monday,
June 25th from 2:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. 30 donors are still needed! Schedule your lifesaving appointment at St. Eliz-
You might not realize how important certain letters are until they’re gone. A, B and O are the main blood types and when not enough people donate blood, A’s, B’s and O’s may be missing from hospital shelves when a critical patient arrives. We take for granted that blood will be available at a moment’s notice to help trauma and accident victims, cancer patients or those needing regular transfusions to treat sickle cell disease. Every two seconds, someone in the U. S. needs blood. Dur-ing the past four years, new donors have decreased by about 80,000 each year. Only about 3% of the U.S. population do-nates blood. We need your help to fill in the missing blood types so patients can receive the lifesaving care they need.

FAITH FORMATION
Question of the Week for June 24-30
Gospel: Luke 1:57-66, 80
Key Passage: “When the time ar r ived for Elizabeth to have her child she gave bir th to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.” (Luke 1:57-58) Question for Adults: When and where have you seen God’s promises fulfilled? How did it make you feel?
Question for Youth: How do you think people received John’s news that Jesus’ ar r ival was at hand? What fears, doubts, or joys do you think they experienced at the news?
Question for Children: John told people that J esus was coming. How can you be a prophet and “point out Jesus” to someone?
Thank you, Lord, for the many graces and blessings You have placed in my life. I offer You my heart-felt gratitude for Your countless gifts to me each day. In turn, dear Lord, help me to be aware of the needs of my least sisters and brothers, and to respond to those who are poor and less fortunate with generous expressions of charity, kindness and caring. On that day, O Lord, when I finally stand before You to give an account of my life, I pray I will hear You say, “Come, O good and faithful servant to share your Father’s joy; for when you saw Me hungry, thirsty, naked, homeless, ill and imprisoned, you offered your gifts in charity, and you lovingly did it for Me.” Amen. (Source – Prayer book by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate)
Special thanks to all the women of St. James and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parishes who worked on our committee and/or at-tended our annual Women’s Morning of Reflection on March 3 of this year. All our expenses have been paid, and we have made a donation of $750 to the Servants of Mary since our speaker, Sr. Joyce Rupp is from that Order. Your attendance helps us to be generous! May God bless each of you! (Jo Kusek, Faith Formation Director)
Note to Parents of Students attending Public Schools (Grades K-8)
If you have a son or daughter who is attending a public grade school in the fall, I invite you to enroll them in the Parish Reli-gious Education (P.R.E.) classes that are held every Wednesday evening for Grades K-8 from September through April from 6:00-7:15 p.m. All classes are held at St. James/Seton School on 90th Street. (Students must attend Grade 1 in order to receive Rec-onciliation and First Communion in Grade 2. Students must attend Grade 7 in order to be confirmed in Grade 8.) Please call Jo Kusek, 402-572-0369 for more information and a registration form.
This Sunday, June 24, we celebrate the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. We only celebrate liturgically the births of two others – Mother Mary on September 8 and Jesus on December 25. Because of the importance of these three, we also remember their deaths – Our Lord Jesus Christ on Good Friday, the Martyrdom of John the Baptist on August 29 (now called the Passion of St. John the Baptist), and the Assumption of Mary into Heaven on August 15. The name, John means “gift of God”. At Mass today, we hear the story from Luke’s Gospel about how the neighbors expected that the baby would be named Zechariah after his father. Instead Zechariah writes, “John is his name”. “All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, ‘What, then, will this child be?’” (Luke 1:66)
Looking down at babies in their cribs, we wonder who they will be and what they will do. As Catholics, we know that every life is precious, and that every life is a “gift of God”. The most important thing we can do is help our children have faith and a relationship with the Lord. We also need to challenge them to find their own unique way of pointing the way to Christ . May we each find a way to say with our lives, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29) St. John the Baptist, pray for us!
St. James/St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Book Review Club meets Monday,
June 25, at 7:00 p.m. in the St. James Parish Center. Carol Gehrman will be reviewing Fire Road: The Napalm Girl’s Journey through the Horrors of War to Faith, Forgiveness and Peace by Kim Phuc Phan Thi. Jean Linse, 493-2728 for information.
