STEWARDSHIP
“Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also
as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had
had their fill, he said to his disciples, ‘Gather the
fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.’
So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that
had been more than they could eat.”
John 6: 11-13
Certainly the Apostles had witnessed previous incredible acts by the Lord, but yet they still hesitated
to trust Him implicitly. How often do we do the
same? Do we remember the many blessings we
have received, and do we think of all the ways God
has been with us in the past, or do we, like Philip
and Andrew, doubt? Stewardship involves complete
trust in God. This trust should be based as much on
what has happened in our lives, as on our deep
faith. Good stewards concentrate on the positive, not
on
the
negative.

STEWARDSHIP OF TIME AND TALENT
HOLY FAMILY HOUSE NEEDS YOUR TIME
For years now, St. Sabina Parish has built a relationship with Holy Family Catholic Worker House, sending volunteers every month to help prepare and
serve a meal to the homeless in Kansas City. While
we have taken a break for the summer, we do start
back up in August and need more volunteers! Every
third Saturday of the month we carpool to Holy Family House, leaving Belton at 4pm and returning
around 8pm. If you can help in this ministry of feeding the hungry, contact Terri Standley at 816-2775250 or [email protected]. Holy Family House is
also always in need of items such as: plastic cups
(like from QuickTrip) and cloth napkins to reuse at
each meal, white socks (gently used is OK), and hygiene products. You can bring these donations to
the parish office or leave them in the donation box
on the South side of the gathering space.
NEW WEBSITE THANK YOU
Thank you to Frank Hansel for donating so much of
your time and talent over the last several weeks to
remodel our parish’s website. We are so grateful!

LIVING STONES
Foundations for Living Stones
A Faith Formation Program for interested Adults
“Come to him, a living stone...chosen and precious in the
sight of God, and, like living stones, let yourself be built
into a spiritual house...” (1 Peter 2:4-5)
St. Sabina, a Catholic faith community committed to total
and lifelong faith formation, is offering an adult faith formation program titled, Foundations for Living Stones. The
program explores in greater depth and knowledge the
basics of our faith. All the sessions focus on the ministry
that we are called to in and through our baptism. Communication skills, group development, leadership skills, bible study, church history, prayer and sacraments are some of the many areas explored and examined in depth. Adult methods of learning and reflection are
employed throughout.
The sessions are scheduled on Tuesday evenings, from 7
-9:30 PM, beginning in late August and ending in late
May. This is a 9-month commitment to deepen one’s skills
and knowledge so as to become a more effective and
engaging minister. We hope to work collaboratively with
our neighboring parishes, inviting them to be part of this
mutual learning process. For a brochure or more information, please call or e-mail either Kris or Biagio at:
Biagio Mazza 816-979-3153 [email protected]
Kris Larkey 816-979-3151; [email protected]
HOW LIVING STONES CHANGED MY LIFE
Three YEARS, NINE MONTHS A YEAR, and lots of reading and HOMEWORK on top of that. That’s probably all
some of our Church community heard about “Living
Stones” especially from me. But truthfully it’s so much
more than that. For myself it turned into a loving life journey with God, our Father, his Son Jesus and the Holy
Spirit. It has deepened my Catholic faith, my personal
relationships, my community relationships and my acquaintances. We studied the Scriptures, early church,
sacraments, prayer and a very important “Loving our
Neighbor”. These are just a few of the topics we covered.
There was so much more and the wonderful, warm, heartfelt discussions. Priceless! The wonderful friendships and
bonds we formed with our group members - we became
like family.
You start in September and before you know it, it’s three
years later. And you wonder where the time went. If you
are wondering what Living Stones really is, just take a
good look. Some of you are already in a ministry. But you
don’t know what this program can do for you, or feel like
you don’t have time or are too old for this. Yet we never
know what God still has in store for us to do to spread His
Word and continue His ministry here on earth.
I’m very proud to have been a part of the “Living Stones”
program. It has shown God’s love for me and that he is
very present in my daily life.
Give it some serious thought. Pray about it and God bless
us all in this wonderful St. Sabina Parish community.

PUPUSA SALE - AUGUST 23
On Sunday, August 23 our Salvadoran community will be
selling pupusas after Masses. A pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish made of a thick, handmade
corn tortilla that is usually filled with variations of cheese,
pork, and refried beans. There will be samples to try so
you can purchase your favorite variety. The cost will be
$2 each and you can purchase them to go. All funds collected will be used for our annual celebration in honor of
Blessed Oscar Romero.
2016 DELEGATION TO EL SALVADOR
Our parish will be taking its second delegation to El Salvador to learn more about the scholarship program there
and to have the opportunity to meet and visit with our
scholarship students and their families. We will travel to
Cinquera and also to El Mozote. El Mozote was the sight
of one of many massacres that occurred in El Salvador
during their Civil War. As of now we are planning to travel
to El Salvador on January 5 and staying approximately 8
days. If you are interested or would like more information,
please contact Kris at 816-979-3151 or by email at
[email protected].

ADULT FAITH FORMATION
REFLECTION ON THE SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME , YEAR B
It is the Lord who feeds us and
answers all our needs. This
demands trust in a loving God who
can do wonders with the little we
have. Do we really believe this? If we
do, how do we conduct our lives and
Vatican II’s revision of the Lectionary developed a relationships in accordance with that belief?
three-year structure with each year containing a The letter to the Ephesians urges us to “live in a
semi-continuous proclamation of the gospels manner worthy of the call you have received.”
according to Matthew, Mark and Luke. No Lectionary What are the characteristics of such a life? It is life

prominently proclaimed in the Lent/Easter season kindness, bearing with one another, striving for peace
and is more difficult to break up into short passages and unity while respecting differences. This manner

of living is the necessary precondition for building
Nowhere during these Sundays was John’s community and for caring for one another.
From the Seventeenth to the Twenty-first Sunday
in Ordinary Time Year B, the semi-continuous
reading of Mark is interrupted with the proclamation
of John chapter 6, the “Bread of Life” discourse. Why
does the Lectionary insert such a major interruption
into a year devoted to the gospel according to Mark?
powerful chapter 6, the discourse on the bread of
life, ever proclaimed. This was a significant lack in a
Lectionary aimed at emphasizing Eucharistic
celebration and reflection on the Eucharistic mystery.
The revision committee decided to insert John’s
discourse for five consecutive Sundays instead of
Mark’s account of the feeding of five thousand.
Rather than Mark’s brief narrative, John’s longer and
more elaborate account was inserted.
The focus of this Sunday’s readings, as well as
that of the whole chapter is summed up well in the
refrain from responsorial Psalm 145: “The hand of the
Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.” The first
reading from 2 Kings has the prophet Elisha multiply
bread so that all can have their fill along with
leftovers. This account provides a backdrop for
Jesus’ multiplication of resources so that all can eat.
John’s account of the multiplication of the loaves and
fishes has Jesus, and not his disciples, directly
feeding the crowd of five thousand with a mere five
loaves and two fish. John’s message stresses that
God, in the person of Jesus, is attuned to our needs
and desires to meet those needs.
SCC
God has given us more than enough to sustain
the entire human family. It is we who need to use
what we have been given in a way that benefits the
entire human family and not just a few members. On
our own, we find this difficult to do. It is necessary for
all of us to take on the mind and heart of Jesus,
reaching out in care and concern for all, no matter
how overwhelming the odds or how scarce the
resources. Doing so will not only result in all having
their various hungers met, but there will be more than
enough left over. Again, do we really believe this? If
so, how do we conduct our lives and relationships in
accordance with that belief?
As we proclaim and reflect on John’s “bread of
life” discourse these next five Sundays, think of the
many ways in which God has nourished and
sustained you. Reflect on how you can be a source of
nourishment for others who hunger and thirst, not
only for food but for justice and righteousness.
Commit yourself to feed others the way God has fed
you.

RCIA
ST. SABINA RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION
OF ADULTS – 2015-2016 The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, the RCIA, is a process which welcomes
all who are interested in becoming Catholic, or any
Catholic wishing to deepen their understanding of the
faith. The Rite involves the formation of a community
that learns, shares, builds community and prays together to deepen their relationship to God and to the
parish family. During the next few weeks, we will be
asking if you are aware of anyone who would benefit
from participation in this faith learning process. Below
are some of the values that we hold as Catholic Christians, which we readily share with all who desire to
journey with us through the RCIA.
WHY BE CATHOLIC? The Catholic Church has consistently believed that God has a universal will and desire to save all people. Our God is the God of all people. God has initiated this love relationship with all creation and desires to bring all to fullness through total
union with God for all eternity. Each one is called to
union with God through the faith path and tradition that
they feel God is leading them.
If this is so, then why be Catholic? One is Catholic, not
because it is the only way to God, but because one
feels attracted to the things that the Catholic tradition
offers. One feels at home more in the Catholic tradition
than in other faith traditions. The following list is meant
to highlight some of those aspects of the Catholic tradition that have attracted others to it.
Catholics are not the only ones that value these qualities. Nor have we been consistent in following through
on them. But, no matter the history, we seem to have
held onto these values rather consistently.
See if these are values and attractions for you.
1. We affirm a belief in the goodness of all creation.
2. We have a universal sense of openness to all people and all cultures.
3. We affirm that we are all called to holiness.
4. We are committed to continual growth as persons.
5. We are challenged to change the world and society
into the reign of God.
6. We are called to live in community.
7. We have historical roots and identity.
8. We respect reason, human knowledge and human
exploration.
If you or anyone you know would be attracted to these
values, please share this with them. Please fill out the
contact information sheet located in the gathering
space and we will personally contact and invite all
those interested to our RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults) Meal which will be held on Thursday, August 27th, 2015 at 6:00pm.

HIDDEN SUGAR
Sugar comes in many disguises. High fructose corn
syrup is probably the most prevalent, but also
beware of brown rice syrup, invert sugar, cane juice,
evaporated cane juice, fruit juice concentrate, and
anything ending in “ose,” which includes fructose,
lactose,
glucose,
maltose,
and
sucrose.
Manufacturers frequently use a combination of these
so they can hide the actual amount of sugar in any
product.
By law, ingredients have to be listed in order of
weight, so by using just a little of five different
sugars, sugar won’t necessarily be the first
ingredient on the label, even though the product
may have more sugar in it than any other ingredient!

INFORMACION
2016 DELEGACION A EL SALVADOR
PERFIL DE ESTUDIANTE BECADA
Nuestra parroquia llevara a su segunda delegación
a El Salvador para aprender mas sobre el programa
de becas allí y para tener la oportunidad de conocer
a nuestro estudiantes becados y a sus familias. Viajaremos a Cinquera y a El Mozote. El pueblo de Mozote fue uno de los muchos donde ocurrieron masacres durante la Guerra Civil en El Salvador. Por
ahora, planeamos viajar a El Salvador el 5 de Enero
y quedarnos aproximadamente 8 días.
Si usted esta interesado o quiere mas información,
por favor comuníquese con Kris al 816-979-3151 o
por correo electrónico, [email protected].
Flor Idalia Mendoza
Idalia esta en su quinto y año final de sus estudios en la
Universidad de El Salvador. Ella comenzó el programa de
becas en el 2010 y esta en buen camino para graduarse
en el 2016, con especialización en Ciencias de la
educación.
Idalia vive en la comunidad de San Nicolás, que es un
pequeño asentamiento rural a las afueras de Cinquera.
Idalia vive en un apartamento en San Salvador durante el
año escolar. San Salvador queda a 4 horas en bus de
Cinquera. Idalia sale de su apartamento a las 9am y
regresa de clases alrededor de las 6pm. Ella camino 15
minutos en cada sentido para llegar a clase. Idalia no
tiene acceso al internet en casa, por lo que tiene que ir a
una cafetería para usar el internet y poder hacer su tarea.
Ella tiene que pagar $6 al mes para acceder a Internet.
En Cinquera, Idalia vive con sus padres y 4 hermanos.
Su madre es ama de casa y su padre es un agricultor.
Ellos viven en una casa de ladrillo sin baño interior, pero
si tienen acceso al agua potable y a la electricidad.
Cada estudiante en el programa de becas se le requiere
que haga un proyecto de la comunidad cada año. Esta la
descripción de Idalia acerca de su servicio a la
comunidad, “ Cada año contribuyo con 120 horas de
servicio a la comunidad, las cuales contribuyo trabajando
en la comunidad. Por ejemplo, limpiando en bosque de
Cinquera, refuerzo académico en las escuelas de los
alrededores y participo en actividades en la comunidad.
A través del programa de becas, solo un niño puede
tener beca de universidad a la vez. Mientras que uno de
los hermanos de Idalia solo tiene educación de segundo
grado, su hermano mayor completo el programa de
becas y ahora es un doctor en medicina.
Idalia describe sus mayores dificultades y desafíos como,
“Uno de los retos es la distancia de mi casa a la escuela,
y los escaso recurso económicos, así como la situación
actual de la seguridad.”
Idalia esta muy agradecida por nuestra ayuda a través
del programa de becas. Ella dice, “ Cuando yo termine mi
carrera estoy pensando en ayudar a mantener la beca
en funcionamiento para que los nuevos estudiantes
puedan continuar sus estudios universitarios.”
Por favor mantenga a Idalia en sus oraciones durante su
ultimo año de estudios con la beca. Si usted esta
interesado en formar parte de nuestra delegación 2016 a
Cinquera, El Salvador, por favor comuníquese con Kris
en la oficina, al 816-979-3151 o [email protected].
