Gaudete Sunday
This particular Sunday in the church year offers the biannual opportunity for the celebrant of the Mass
to wear the color rose. The other Sunday in which rose vestments are permitted is Laetare Sunday, the fourth
Sunday of Lent. The word Gaudete comes from the Latin meaning “rejoice.” The word rejoice is the first word
in the entrance antiphon for the day: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Indeed, the Lord is
near.” (Phil 4:4-5)
Throughout Advent, we have been focusing on the Lord’s coming, His coming in history two thousand
years ago and His coming again in glory, which we still await. The liturgical color has been violet, but now as
approach the last days of Advent, we have a “little rejoicing” as we realize the time for Christmas is near. We
are not there yet, but very close. The rejoicing element of this Sunday gives us a respite of sorts from the
serious, somewhat somber and penitential nature of Advent (even though Lent is the primary penitential
season of the Church year.)
We must always keep in mind that whenever we reflect upon Jesus coming into our world, lives and
hearts there is always a reason to rejoice. Sadness has no part to play here as God brings His Son into the
world for us: to show us how much we are loved. Jesus is the gift, the gift of the Father is His Son and the Son
is given to all of us. Let us then rejoice during these remaining days of Advent as we anticipate celebrating
God’s love for us in the birth of Jesus and in all that Jesus continues to do for us today!

Third Sunday of Advent – 13 December 2020 Isaiah 61:1-2a, 10-11. Luke1:46-48, 49-50, 53-54. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24. John 1:6-8, 19-28.
Who Am I? As we long for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, let our Advent be perfectly holy. To help us, Saint Paul reminds us of these basic Christian attitudes: (1) rejoice always, (2) pray without ceasing, and (3) always give thanks.
In whom or in what will I rejoice this week? How will I pray every day this week? For whom and for what am I thankful? What will I do because of this thanksgiving?

Needed - PC Monitors, Keyboards, Mice, Speakers
For two decades, parishioner Chuck Reiss has been refurbishing PCs for St. Elizabeth in Chicago and later for Catholic Charities in the Chicago area. He has just delivered his 300th personal computer to a Catholic Charities family to be used to access information and do remote learning. A corporation recently donated over twenty computers to this project in order to be refurbished, but they arrived without Monitors, Keyboards, Mice and PC Speakers.
If you have extra equipment laying around, please donate it so these computers may be placed in homes to help families with remote learning. Drop off is contact free in his enclosed front porch. If you have questions, contact Chuck Reiss 630-858-5381 or [email protected]
Christmas Collection for DuPage Care Center
Around this time each year, St. James the Apostle parishioners are invited to support the DuPage Care Center’s Annual Adopt-A-Resident program. This program is an opportunity for the community members, like you, to show your support to the residents and ensure their holiday wishes are met with personalized gifts. Here is how you can support this program.
Donate special items for the residents to use year-round off the Holiday Wish list. Items from this list are used to fill additional resident needs. Search Amazon for “DPCC Wishlist” or visit our website, www.dupageco.org/dpcc to view our wish list.
Gifts may be addressed to: DuPage Care Center C/O Wishlist 2020 400 N. County Farm Rd. Wheaton IL, 60187
If you have any questions, please call or email Elizabeth Walker at 630-784-4260 or [email protected].
If you do not wish to adopt a resident but would still like to contribute in some other way, monetary donations are always welcomed. Checks may be made out to the DuPage Care Center Foundation. As a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, all contributions may be deductible to the extent allowed by the law.
Thank you for your help to make the holidays a little brighter by supporting the Adopt- A- Resident program.
Bringing Epiphany to the Children of St. John Paul II Parish
The Epiphany Toy Bag Collection for the children of St. John Paul II in Kankakee will look a little different this year. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the ladies of the St. James Council of Catholic Women will not be able to physically collect your donations of toys. However, the need is still great as St. John Paul II continues to be one of the most economically challenged parishes in the Joliet Diocese.
Because our St. James the Apostle parishioners have been so generous in the past, we are hoping to collect monetary donations only this year to enable St. John Paul II Parish to have a drive through Epiphany Celebration for the kids. They will purchase gift cards locally to support the businesses in their area.
To donate: Drop your envelope of cash or check (made payable to “St. James CCW”) marked “Epiphany Toy Bag Collection” into the Sunday Mass offering.
If you prefer, please mail your checks (made payable to “St. James CCW”) directly to Doris Barrera, 1800 Jasper Court, Wheaton, IL 60189.
Please mail your tax deductible contribution on or before December 18th.
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate during this difficult time. If you have any questions, please call Doris Barrera at 630-260-9276 or email [email protected]

Christmas wafers, or oplatki, are now available for pickup at the Ministry Center. A $2 offering would be most appreciated.

The season of Advent is about anticipation. The anticipation of waiting for Christ. It also calls us to slow down a bit - that is the tough part.
• Sit with your family and talk about your traditions, talk about the history of some of the ornaments on the tree, the rich memories of family, the joy of this journey.
St. James Youth Ministry Resources to Help You Create a Meaningful Advent
"The Advent season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the anniversary of the Lord’s birth on Christmas. The final days of Advent, from December 17 to December 24, focus particularly on our preparation for the celebrations of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas). Advent devotions including the Advent wreath, remind us of the meaning of the season. Our Advent calendar above can help you fully enter in to the season with daily activity and prayer suggestions to prepare you spiritually for the birth of Jesus Christ.

The semiannual Blood Drive took place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (11/28/20).
Due to the pandemic, this was done via a mobile blood bank unit. We surpassed our
expected quota and received 30 pints for the local blood bank. The picture shows this mobile unit along with
Grand Knight Mike Progar (far right), Blood Drive Coordinator Kurt Padera (next to Mike), and two St.
James parishioners (Bill and Colleen Jochum) who donated blood on this day. A huge THANK YOU goes out
to all who helped make this event a very
successful one.
The annual Seminarian Raffle Book
fundraiser continues this month as an
extension to the original program has been
granted by the State Knights Council. This
event is being handled differently this year
due to the pandemic. Anyone wishing to
contribute financially to our Diocesan
seminarians can turn in their contributions
to the Ministry Center. Please include
money ($15 for each raffle book) along with
your name, address, phone number, and e-
mail when possible. The Knights will fill out
the raffle books for you, turn the completed
books in, and send you a receipt. All
donations need to be turned in no later than
Monday, December 21. The raffle drawing will be taking place in early January. Jim O’Malley has been named
December Knight of the Month for his work in putting this program together this year.
The next Knight sponsored program will take place on Sunday, December 27 when we will commemorate the
Feast of the Consecration of the Holy Family.
All the Knights in St. James the Apostle Council #9806 would like to take this opportunity to wish all the
parishioners of St. James a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and say THANK YOU for all the help you have
given us this year.

I n these unprecedented times, when so many of us are unable to gather for public worship, we may be experiencing a sense of disconnection
from our family of God at St. James.
Similarly, those of us who are able to return to public worship may feel a sense of loss and disconnection from our brothers and sisters in Christ whose faces we miss seeing gathered at the Table of the Lord each week.
Although we are physically apart at this time, the truth is we remain ONE in Christ. Therefore, in an effort to stay connected, we are happy to launch Project ONE at St. James as a safe and creative way to bridge this temporary obstacle the pandemic has ushered into our lives.
So far, Project ONE has distributed care packages to parishioners in October, November and December. Want to join in the fun for January? Be sure to sign up by the 15th of December.
Join Project ONE today! No matter your age or circumstances, any parishioner may join—it is open to all and there are three ways to participate:
1) Sign up to receive a monthly care package filled with love from your parish family. You can arrange for delivery outside your home OR pickup outside the Ministry Center.
2) Sign up to pray for a fellow parishioner and write a note of support to include in their monthly care package.
3) Sign up to deliver the Project ONE monthly care packages outside the home of a recipient.
Let us never forget we are ONE body in Christ! Sign up today to connect with your family of faith! Call 630-469-7540, ext. 205 —OR— email [email protected] —OR—visit stjamesge.org to join.
