We are sad to know that Fr. Matthew has been reassigned to serve as the Pastor of St. Mary's of the Annunciation, in Oakdale, CA. His time at Presentation was short, though we are grateful for his heartfelt and uplifting sermons, countless prayers, and the many ways that he actively engaged in our parish community—a short joke, conversations about sports, visiting ministries, and the many times he spontaneously visited our Parish School to check in with the staff and students, never missing an opportunity to play a game of kickball or basketball.
Fr. Matthew will truly be missed! Let us keep him in our prayers as he shepherds the flock in Oakdale. “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. . . .” --2 Corinthians 13:13. Let us pray: for his strength to continue to reach out to all of God's people in compassion, that the fruits of the Holy Spirit continue to guide him on his journey, and for growth in his relationship with God. Though he is being called to journey on a path different from ours, we know that we travel together to the Lord.
Instead of gifts, Fr. Matthew asks that you donate in his name to the 2022 Seminarian Endowment Challenge!

Grow your faith
Liturgy of the weekOUR PARISH - 6th Sunday of Easter / 6° Domingo de Pascua
. . . who have dedicated their lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Acts 15:26
So may your way be known upon [E]arth; among all nations, your salvation. - Psalm 67:3 The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gave it light, and its lamp was the Lamb. - Revelation 21:23 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. - John 14:27 We pray and work so that God’s way will “be known upon [E]arth.” God is the Light and we are the instruments who reflect God’s Light. As Edith Wharton notes, “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” As those who reflect the Light of Christ, we point to God’s way, not our own. If we have indeed “dedicated [our] lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,” we must make God’s way known. We do so by sincerely following Jesus, by being open to all the people and circumstances God sends us. Let us ponder and pray on how God is sending us each day. Let us look to Jesus who tells us “not [to] let [our] hearts be troubled or afraid” (John 14:27), for he gives us his peace, “not as the world gives.” 
Sexto Domingo de Pascua "que han entregado su vida a la causa de nuestro Señor Jesucristo". - Hechos, 15 - Bíblia Católica Online "Para que se conozcan en la tierra tus caminos, tu salvación entre todas las naciones". - Salmos, 67 - Bíblia Católica Online "La ciudad no necesita ni de sol ni de luna que la alumbren, porque la ilumina la gloria de Dios, y su lámpara es el Cordero". - Apocalipsis, 21 - Bíblia Católica Online "Os dejo la paz, mi paz os doy; no os la doy como la da el mundo". - Juan, 14 - Bíblia Católica Online Oramos y trabajamos para que el camino de Dios sea “conocido en [la] tierra”. Dios es la Luz y nosotros somos los instrumentos que reflejan la Luz de Dios. Como señala Edith Wharton, “Hay dos formas de difundir la luz: ser la vela o el espejo que la refleja”. Como aquellos que reflejan la Luz de Cristo, señalamos el camino de Dios, no el nuestro. Si en verdad hemos “dedicado [nuestra] vida al nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo”, debemos dar a conocer el camino de Dios. Lo hacemos siguiendo sinceramente a Jesús, estando abiertos a todas las personas y circunstancias que Dios nos envía. Meditemos y oremos sobre cómo Dios nos está enviando cada día. Miremos a Jesús que nos dice “no [dejemos] que [nuestro] corazón se turbe ni tenga miedo” (Juan 14:27), porque Él nos da su paz, “no como la da el mundo”. Follow along during the Mass

Gospel Meditation
Dear Parishioners,
At the end of the Bible, an angel announces that he will reveal the bride of the wedding feast of heaven: “Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” In the next verse, which is the first line of our reading today from the Book of Revelation, we find out who the bride will be: “The angel took me in spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem.” (Rev. 21:8-9) This means that in heaven, all of us, who are the Church, will be espoused to Christ. May is the month of the Virgin Mary, who was the first to be chosen by God as his bride. She was conceived without sin so that she could be the Immaculate Mother of God’s Son. She is the Queen and Mother of the Church, and she has been revealed to us in many apparitions which have occurred in many different places: in churches, convents, homes, grottoes, valleys, and mountaintops. There has only been one church-approved apparition of Mary in the United States. It happened in 1859, just one year after the famous apparition of the Immaculate Conception at Lourdes. This is significant because the patron saint of our country is the Immaculate Conception (decreed by the U.S. bishops in 1946). The apparition occurred in a forest. A Belgium immigrant named Adele Brise was carrying a sack of grain through a forest on an old Indian trail near Green Bay, Wisconsin, when suddenly she saw “a beautiful Lady” standing silently “between two trees, one a maple, the other a hemlock.” A few days later, Adele passed by the same place with two friends, and this time the vision spoke to Adele. Here are some of the things that Our Lady said to Adele: “I am the Queen of Heaven, who prays for the conversion of sinners, and I wish you to do the same. You received Holy Communion this morning, and that is well. But you must do more. Make a general confession and offer Communion for the conversion of sinners. If they do not convert and do penance, my Son will be obliged to punish them. . . . Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation. . . . Teach them their catechism, how to sign themselves with the Sign of the Cross, and how to approach the sacraments; that is what I wish you to do. Go and fear nothing, I will help you.” Adele spent the rest of her life working hard to teach catechism to the children “of this wild country.” But exactly twelve years later, the punishment mentioned by Our Lady struck that region: several thousand people died in two of the worst fires in U.S. history: the Chicago Fire and the Peshtigo Fire. However, Adele and a group of local Catholics took refuge in the chapel where the apparitions took place and were miraculously saved by a downpour. The next morning, they saw what a great miracle had occurred: the entire countryside was blackened by the fire except for the church property which was like an island of green “like an emerald” in a sea of black. It was October 9, 1871, the day of the twelfth anniversary of the apparition. More information about this apparition can be found on the website of the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, Champion, Wisconsin (www.championshrine.org). Fr. Mark
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO Estimados feligreses, Al fin de la Biblia hay bodas celestiales y un ángel anuncia la revelación de la novia: “Ven aquí. Te mostraré la novia, la esposa del Cordero”. En el siguiente versículo (que es la primera línea de nuestra lectura de hoy) descubrimos quién será la novia: “El ángel me llevó en espíritu a un monte grande y alto y me mostró la ciudad santa de Jerusalén”. (Ap. 21:8-9) Esto significa que en el cielo, todos nosotros, que somos la iglesia, seremos desposados con Cristo. Mayo es el mes de la Virgen María, quien fue la primera en ser elegida como esposa de Dios. Ella fue concebida sin pecado para poder ser la Madre Inmaculada del Hijo de Dios. Ella es la Reina y Madre de la Iglesia, y durante los siglos ella ha sido revelada al mundo poco a poco. Ha habido muchas apariciones de la Virgen Maria. Estas apariciones de la Virgen han ocurrido en muy diversos lugares: en iglesias, conventos, hogares, grutas, valles y montañas. En los Estados Unidos solo ha habido una aparición de María reconocido por la iglesia. La aparición ocurrió en 1859, un año después de la famosa aparición de la Inmaculada Concepción en Lourdes. Esto es significativo porque la santa patrona de nuestro país es la Inmaculada Concepción (decretada por los obispos en 1946). La aparición ocurrió en un bosque. Era un bosque en el estado de Wisconsin donde una inmigrante belga llamada Adele Brise estaba cargando un saco de grano y caminando un antiguo sendero de los indios. De repente vio a “una bella dama… entre dos árboles, uno un arce, el otro una cicuta”. Unos días después, Adele pasó por el mismo lugar con dos amigas, y esta vez la visión le habló con Adele. Estas son algunas de las cosas que Nuestra Señora le dijo a Adele: “Soy la Reina del Cielo que ora por la conversión de los pecadores, y deseo que hagas como yo. Recibiste la comunión esta mañana y eso está bien, pero tienes que hacer más. Haz una confesión general y ofrece la Comunión por la conversión de los pecadores. Si no se convierten y no hacen penitencia, mi Hijo tendrá que castigarlos…Enséñales el catecismo, enséñales a hacer el signo de la cruz y a recibir los sacramentos. Ese es mi deseo. Ve y no temas nada. Yo te ayudaré”. Adele dedicó el resto de su vida enseñado el catecismo a los niños “de este país salvaje”. Sin embargo, exactamente doce años después, el castigo mencionado por Nuestra Señora golpeó esa región: más de dos mil personas murieron en los incendios que ocurrieron en la ciudad de Chicago y en la región de Pestigo, Wisconsin. Fueron salvados Adele y un grupo de católicos locales quienes se refugiaron para rezar en la capilla construida en el lugar de las apariciones. Rezaron toda la noche, y fueron salvados milagrosamente por un aguacero. A la madrugada, vieron cuanto era grande el milagro: todo la región fue quemada y ennegrecida por el fuego a excepción de la propiedad de la iglesia, que era como una isla de verde “como una esmeralda” en un mar de negro. ¡Y era el 9 de octubre, el aniversario de la aparición! Se puede encontrar más información sobre esta aparición en el sitio web del Santuario de Nuestra Señora del Buen Auxilio, Champion, Wisconsin (www.championshrine.org). -Padre Mark

This week we celebrate St. Philip Neri, the Apostle of Rome. To a Rome ravaged by war and wearied by the decadence of the Renaissance popes, St. Philip Neri came as an unlikely reformer. Mystic, hermit, prankster, and effortless leader of men, Neri had a great sense of humor and an even greater heart.

“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.’”

A message from Fr. Mark:
Happy Feast of St. Andre Bessette! January 6 is the anniversary of the death of “Frere Andre”, the miracle-worker of Montreal. When he died in 1937, approximately one million people came to his funeral services because he was famous for curing sick people. He would pray to St. Joseph, and many thousands of people were cured during his lifetime as well as after his death. Pope Francis has declared this year 2021 to be the year of St. Joseph, who is the most powerful saint in heaven! Let us be like St. Andre Bessette and try to increase our love for St. Joseph, so that he will help us love Our Lord and Our Lady as he did! I have written an article on St. Andre Bessette and St. Joseph. To read it, please click here. Fr. Mark Wagner To read Fr. Mark's articles, please click on the links below.

CELEBRATING MASS DURING COVID-19 / MISA DURANTE COVID-19
New Guidelines for Sunday Masses as of July 31, 2021
1. Since June 27, it has once again been made obligatory for Catholics in our diocese to attend Mass on Sundays, unless they are unable to do so because of ill health or other serious reasons. The dispensation from the obligation to participate in Mass which had been given to us during the pandemic will now be abrogated and the obligation will be reinstated. However, those who are not comfortable attending in-person may request further dispensation from their pastor. Those who are ill, vulnerable to serious illness, or caring for a vulnerable person have a serious reason to refrain from participation in Sunday Mass and do not need to obtain this special dispensation. 2. Please DO NOT ATTEND MASS if you are unwell. Just as in pre-Pandemic, we should all be respectful of others if we are not well. Those who are not feeling well or have symptoms consistent with COVID-19 must not attend Mass. 3. Our parish will continue to provide Livestream Masses for the sake of those who are sick and homebound. 4. Outdoor Masses will be discontinued because the distancing requirements within the church have been removed. Outdoor seating will be allowed at all Masses in shaded areas outside the open doors of the church. Please bring your own chairs for outdoor seating. 5. Be respectful of those who might still feel afraid to return to Mass. The diocese has directed that those who are not fully vaccinated are to wear a mask at Mass, and that even those who are vaccinated are highly encouraged to wear a mask. However, this will not be enforced by means of verification, but rather on an honor system. Some vaccinated persons may choose to wear a mask because they are taking care of a vulnerable loved one. Please be considerate of those who might be afraid of sitting next to someone who is not wearing a mask. Those who feel most concerned about contagion may sit in the South transept of the church where there will be increased social distancing (two pews closed between each open pew). Please be respectful and do not judge others for their decisions as regards wearing or not wearing a mask at Mass. 6. We are no longer required to enforce social distancing and capacity limits in the church, but at Presentation Parish we will continue to close some of the pews so that there is at least one empty pew between each pew that is occupied. Parishioners may sit in any open pew. Some particularly vulnerable persons may choose to sit outside the church, or in the Southwest section of our church where there will be increased distancing between occupied pews (two empty pews between each occupied pew). 7. Holy Water fonts will again be made available to the faithful and will be cleaned/emptied regularly. 8. Congregational singing is now permitted. You may prefer to just listen to the cantor, but if you wish to sing you can sing out loud to the Lord! 9. Click here to read the full statement given by the bishop and our diocese. Wearing masks is highly recommended! Alert your friends who do not have access to the internet. Thank you to all the faithful who have continued to strengthen their faith with us both in-person and online. May we continue to serve the Lord together while looking out for the spiritual and physical well-being of our brothers and sisters in Christ. |
Reglas y Recomendaciones para las Misas dominicales a partir del 31 de julio de 2021
1. Desde Junio, se ha vuelto a obligar a los católicos de nuestra diócesis a asistir a Misa los domingos, a menos que no puedan hacerlo por problemas de salud u otras razones graves. La dispensa de la obligación de participar en la Misa que se nos había dado durante la pandemia ahora será abrogada y la obligación se restablecerá. Sin embargo, aquellos que no se sientan cómodos asistiendo en persona pueden solicitar más dispensa de su pastor. Aquellos que están enfermos, vulnerables a enfermedades graves o que cuidan a una persona vulnerable tienen una razón seria para abstenerse de participar en la Misa dominical y no necesitan obtener esta dispensa especial. 2. NO ASISTA A MISA si no se encuentra bien. Al igual que en la etapa prepandémica, todos debemos ser respetuosos con los demás si no estamos bien. Aquellos que no se sientan bien o tengan síntomas compatibles con COVID-19 no deben asistir a Misa. 3. Nuestra parroquia continuará brindando Misas en vivo por el bien de aquellos que están enfermos y confinados en casa. 4. Se suspenderán las Misas al aire libre porque se eliminaron los requisitos de distanciamiento dentro de la iglesia. Se permitirán asientos al aire libre en todas las Misas en áreas sombreadas afuera de las puertas abiertas de la iglesia. Traiga sus propias sillas para sentarse al aire libre. 5. Sea respetuoso con aquellos que todavía puedan tener miedo de regresar a la Misa. La diócesis ha ordenado que aquellos que no estén completamente vacunados deben usar una máscara en la Misa, y se recomienda vivamente que aquellos que están vacunados usen también una máscara. Sin embargo, esto no se hará cumplir mediante verificación, sino más bien en un sistema de honor. Algunas personas vacunadas pueden optar por usar una máscara porque están cuidando a un ser querido vulnerable. Sea considerado con aquellos que puedan tener miedo de sentarse al lado de alguien que no esté usando una máscara. Aquellos que se sientan más preocupados por el contagio pueden sentarse en el crucero sur de la iglesia donde habrá un mayor distanciamiento social (dos bancos cerrados entre cada banco abierto). Por favor, sea respetuoso y no juzgue a los demás por sus decisiones en cuanto a usar o no una máscara en la Misa. 6. Ya no estamos obligados a imponer el distanciamiento social y los límites de capacidad en la iglesia, pero en la iglesia de la Presentación continuaremos cerrando algunos de los bancos para que haya al menos un banco vacío entre cada banco que esté ocupado. Los feligreses pueden sentarse en cualquier banco abierto. Algunas personas particularmente vulnerables pueden optar por sentarse fuera de la iglesia, o en la sección suroeste de nuestra iglesia, donde habrá un mayor distanciamiento entre los bancos ocupados (dos bancos vacíos entre cada banco ocupado). 7. Las fuentes de agua bendita se pondrán nuevamente a disposición de los fieles y se limpiarán / vaciarán con regularidad. 8. Ahora se permite el canto congregacional. Puede que prefieras simplemente escuchar al cantor, pero si deseas cantar, ¡puedes cantar en voz alta al Señor! 9.Haga clic aquí para leer la declaración completa dada por el obispo y nuestra diócesis. Se recomienda encarecidamente el uso de mascarilla. Avise a sus amigos que no tienen acceso aInternet. Gracias a todos los fieles que han continuado fortaleciendo su fe con nosotros tanto en persona como en línea. Que podamos seguir sirviendo al Señor juntos mientras buscamos el bienestar espiritual y físico de nuestros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo. |

CONFESSIONS/CONFESIONES
Confessions will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:00 PM and Saturday at 9:00 AM inside 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).
For your protection and the protection of our priests and everyone around you, please wear a mask and maintain safe social distancing of at least six (6) feet.

“¡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).
Para su protección y la protección de nuestros sacerdotes y de todos los que lo rodean, use un máscara y mantenga un distanciamiento social seguro de al menos seis (6) pies.
