Celebrating Mass During CoVID-19 / Misa Durante COVID-19
We are Celebrating Outside!As you are aware, due to the increased number of coronavirus cases in our county, indoor worship services have been suspended. Outdoor Masses are an option.
Please remember that the obligation to attend Mass has been dispensed and is still in effect. According to the San Joaquin Office of Emergency Services, “Staying home is still safest. It’s important for San Joaquin County residents to continue staying at home as much as possible, and do their part to keep everyone healthy.” BE READY! Be ready to be kind, caring, supportive, patient, and alert. Most of all, be ready to worship God and celebrate with us in a safe environment. |
¡Ahora Estamos celebrando afuera!Como ustedes saben, debido al aumento en el número de casos de coronavirus en nuestro condado, los servicios litúrgicos en interiores han sido suspendidos. Las Misas al aire libre son una opción.
Recuerde que la obligación de asistir a Misa se ha dispensado y aún está vigente. Según la Oficina de Servicios de Emergencia de San Joaquín, “Quedarse en casa sigue siendo lo más seguro. Es importante que los residentes del condado de San Joaquín continúen en casa tanto como sea posible y hagan su parte para mantener a todos saludables". ¡ESTÉN LISTOS! Prepárese para ser amable, atento, solidario, paciente y alerta. Sobre todo, prepárate para adorar a Dios y celebrar con nosotros en un ambiente seguro. |

Parish Pandemic Procedures Update
During this time of pandemic, the Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is implementing all the safety procedures that are required, as well as many additional precautions that are recommended for the safety of our community members. These include cleaning, disinfecting, and the use of masks, thermometers, and proper social distancing. We gather contact information of everyone who attends all Masses, just in case we have to call everyone who attended a particular Mass. This has happened two times in recent weeks. We had to notify everyone who attended two of our Masses here at Presentation, because we later learned that those two Masses had been attended by someone who later tested positive for coronavirus. In both cases, the person attending the Mass did not have any symptoms while attending the Mass, practiced social distancing while attending the Mass, and had conformed to the all established protocols of the parish. They assured us that they did not come in close contact with others at the Mass. Nevertheless, a parish staff member notified each of those who had attended those Masses, just to inform them that they should be alert for symptoms. We also called them again two weeks later in an effort to make sure that our safety protocols at Mass were effective and that no one became infected by attending either of the Masses. One of these Masses was a Confirmation Mass celebrated on June 29 for our parish school families, and the other was our 5:00 p.m. Mass on July 5. We are providing this information so that everyone can make informed decisions about whether they wish to attend our Masses during the pandemic. If anyone tests positive for coronavirus, please notify the parish right away (209-472-2150) so that we can notify those who were present at the Mass or service you attended. The information received will be handled in a confidential manner. |
Actualización de los Procedimientos de la Pandemia Parroquial
Durante este tiempo de pandemia, la Iglesia de la Presentación de la Santísima Virgen María está implementando todos los procedimientos de seguridad que se requieren, así como muchas precauciones adicionales que se recomiendan para la seguridad de los miembros de nuestra comunidad. Estos incluyen la limpieza, desinfección y el uso de máscarillas, termómetros y distanciamiento social adecuado. Recopilamos información de contacto de todos los que asisten a todas las Misas, en caso de que tengamos que llamar a todos los que asistieron a una Misa en particular. Esto ha sucedido dos veces en las últimas semanas. Tuvimos que notificar a todos los que asistieron a dos de nuestras Misas aquí en Presentación, porque más tarde supimos que esas dos Misas habían sido atendidas por alguien que luego dio positivo por coronavirus. En ambos casos, la persona que asistía a la Misa no tenía ningún síntoma mientras asistía a la Misa, practicaba el distanciamiento social mientras asistía a la Misa y se había conformado con todos los protocolos establecidos de la parroquia. Nos aseguraron que no entraron en contacto cercano con otros en la Misa. Sin embargo, un miembro del personal de la parroquia notificó a cada uno de los que habían asistido a esas Misas, solo para informarles que deberían estar atentos a los síntomas. También los llamamos nuevamente dos semanas después en un esfuerzo por asegurarnos de que nuestros protocolos de seguridad en la Misa fueran efectivos y que nadie se infectara al asistir a cualquiera de las Misas. Una de estas Misas fue una Misa de confirmación celebrada el 29 de junio para las familias de nuestras escuelas parroquiales, y la otra fue a la Misa de 5:00 p.m. el 5 de julio. Estamos proporcionando esta información para que todos puedan tomar decisiones informadas sobre si desean asistir a nuestras Misas durante la pandemia. Si alguien da positivo por coronavirus, notifique a la parroquia de inmediato (209-472-2150) para que podamos notificar a quienes estuvieron presentes en la Misa o al servicio al que asistió. La información recibida será tratada de manera confidencial. |
COVID-19 Protocols/Protocolos COVID-19
|
Dear Parishioners,
In an effort to protect all of you, we have been following protocols from the Diocese of Stockton, the State of California, the CDC, and the San Joaquin Public Health Department. These protocols include the following:
If you live in the same household, you may sit together; otherwise, you need to practice safe social distancing.
We are required to collect names and phone numbers of those attending Mass, prayer time, Adoration, etc. in case someone contracts COVID-19. We then will notify all those who were present. This is handled in a confidential manner. It has come to our attention that some people are saying they do not want to give out such information and that other parishes are not doing this. If you choose to come to Presentation, this is a requirement. Otherwise, you have the option of viewing Mass on Facebook or YouTube.
Please remember to enter through McClellan Way. Please follow the instructions of the attendants. Going forward, the parking lot will be closed to vehicles once Mass begins. This is for your safety as well as to minimize distractions during Mass. Please remember that we are following these directives to keep you safe. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please continue to pray for an end to the pandemic. |
Estimados Feligreses,
En un esfuerzo para protegerlos a todos, hemos estado siguiendo los protocolos de la Diócesis de Stockton, el Estado de California, los del Centro de Control de Enfermedades (CDC) y el Departamento de Salud Pública del Condado de San Joaquín. Estos protocolos incluyen lo siguiente:
Si viven en el mismo hogar, pueden sentarse juntos; de lo contrario, debe practicar un distanciamiento social seguro.
Se nos ha llamado a la atención que algunas personas están diciendo que no quieren dar tal información y que otras parroquias no lo están haciendo. Si elige asistir a la Presentación, este es un requisito. De lo contrario, tiene la opción de ver la Misa en Facebook o YouTube.
Recuerde ingresar por McClellan Way. Siga las instrucciones de los Asistentes. En el futuro, el estacionamiento estará cerrado a los vehículos una vez que comience la Misa. Esto es por su seguridad y para minimizar las distracciones durante la Misa. Recuerde que estamos siguiendo estas directivas para mantener su seguridad. Para las Misas de fin de semana en Español: Solo cuatro carros en total podrán estacionarse en los espacios de estacionamiento que dan al Centro Comunitario (dos autos frente al garaje del Centro del Ministerio y dos en el otro extremo junto a la pasarela que conduce al Centro del Ministerio). Las personas pueden estacionarse junto a las salas de reuniones, pero deben permanecer en sus carros o delante de ellos. Los otros espacios de estacionamiento a lo largo del costado del garaje (espacios intermedios) son para que las personas se sienten en sillas. Todavía se requiere un espacio entre cada automóvil y las personas sentadas en sillas practicando las pautas de distanciamiento social. Gracias por su comprensión y cooperación. Continúe orando por el fin de la pandemia. |

CONFESSIONS/CONFESIONES
Confessions will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:00 PM and Saturday at 8:30 AM in front of the church.
“Peace be with you!” With these words, the Risen Lord greeted his frightened Apostles in the Upper Room on the day of his Resurrection. They were troubled, anxious, and fearful—much like each one of us at some point in our lives. Christ repeated the words, “Peace be with you.” But then he added, Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them” (Jn 20:19-23).
Please enter from Harrisburg and wait along the oleander bushes on McClellan if there is a long line. Please follow signs.
For your protection and the protection of our priests, if you are coming to confession in a car or by walking up, wear a mask and maintain safe social distancing of at least six (6) feet.

Las confesiones estarán disponibles Lunes, Miércoles, y Viernes a las 5:00 PM y los Sábados a las 8:30 AM frente a la iglesia.
“¡La paz esté con ustedes!” Con estas palabras el Señor Resucitado saludó a sus asustados Apóstoles en el Cenáculo el día de su Resurrección. Estaban confundidos, ansiosos y temerosos, muy parecido a como nos sentimos nosotros en algún momento de nuestras vidas. Cristo repitió estas palabras, “La paz esté con ustedes.” Pero entonces añadió, “Reciban el Espíritu Santo. A quienes ustedes perdonen los pecados, queden perdonados” (Jn 20:19-23).
Ingrese desde Harrisburg y espere a lo largo de los arbustos de adelfas en McClellan si hay una larga cola. Siga las indicaciones. Para su protección y la protección de nuestros sacerdotes, si va a confesarse en un automóvil o al caminar, use una máscara y mantenga un distanciamiento social seguro de al menos seis (6) pies.

OUR PARISH - Twenty-ninth SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME/Vigésimo NOVENO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
I have called you by your name. . . . I am the Lord and there is no other, there is no God besides me. - Isaiah 45:5
For great is the Lord and highly to be praised; awesome is he, beyond all gods. - Psalm 96:4
We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers. . . . - 1 Thessalonians 1:2
Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God. - Matthew 22:21
Today’s readings point to the pre-eminence of God in our lives. As Hildegard of Bingen notes, “God is the foundation for everything.”
If God is at the center, then all things fall into place: God first and everything else following. God invites us into an ongoing and ever-deepening relationship. Let us accept God’s invitation, praise God, give thanks to God, and so order our lives that we will in word and in deed “render to God all that belongs to God” (Matthew 22:21). Then by our words and actions we will bear witness that God is indeed the foundation of our lives.

FR. MARK'S REFLECTIONS AND ARTICLES / REFLEXIONES Y ARTÍCULOS DEL P. MARK
A Message from Fr. Mark: Our October SAINT OF THE MONTH is St. Francis of Assisi. There are several beautiful videos about St. Francis in Formed.org (FREE for our parishioners). Hello, parents of our children’s catechism program (Family of Faith). On the website Formed.org there are several films and documentaries about St. Francis of Assisi (our saint of the month for October), including a cartoon version for children! Watching this together can be part of your children’s catechism for this year! But before watching the cartoon on with your children, you may want to watch their documentary so that you can have an understanding and be able to explain it to your children. My favorite full-length film about St. Francis is unfortunately not available to us for free on Formed.org. It is the 1989 film with Mickey Rourke as St. Francis. I prefer this film because it realistically shows the hardships of the life of poverty embraced by St. Francis (Zeffirelli’s 1972 film is too flowery and fanciful!) Fr. Mark There are 3 easy steps for new parishioners to Sign Up on FORMED:
If you are already a member of FORMED, then click here to access their website (then click 'Sign In' located in the upper right corner of the screen). Available on FORMED.ORG Movie: A Sign of Contradiction http://watch.formed.org/videos/st-francis-of-assisi-sign-of-contradiction Cartoon: The Knight of Assisi http://watch.formed.org/videos/francis-the-knight-of-assisi Available on YouTube (Rent or Buy) Movie: Francesco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gboS5nyNajQ Francesco is a 1989 docu-drama relating in flashback St. Francis of Assisi's evolution from rich man's son to religious humanitarian and finally to a full-fledged saint. The film was based on Hermann Hesse's Francis of Assisi, which director Liliana Cavani had previously filmed in 1966. It was shot in the Italian region of Abruzzo and it stars Mickey Rourke and Helena Bonham Carter. Greek composer, Vangelis, provided the musical score. |

“Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form.... ”
(Lúcia dos Santos, Visionary of Fátima)
The terrifying and horrific vision of hell, which the Shepherd Children witnessed, “lasted but an instant.” Lúcia tells us: “We looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’”
Our Lady instructed the Little Shepherds: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’”

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. (Partial indulgence)
A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION IN TIME OF PANDEMIC
Please pray this prayer daily for an end to the Covid-19 pandemic.
O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection.
Amen.
Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God. In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
