PRESENTATION PANDEMIC FUND
As you heard at Masses a few weeks ago and read in last week’s bulletin, COVID has affected Presentation parish as well as many other aspects of our lives.

Bishop's Ministry Appeal
This year, our parish goal is to have at least 800 of our parish families pledge and donate to the annual Bishop's Ministry Appeal. As of July 1, 2020 we have 268 families who have pledged! To pledge towards this year's goal, please click the 'Bishop's Ministry Appeal' image. Be sure to designate 2020-Church of the Presentation-Stockton as the parish you are pledging for. |
Stewardship Renewal is among us! We ask that you pray about your role in our parish. Reflect on how you are involved: Do you serve in parish ministries? Do you come to parish-wide events? Are you taking steps to improve your spiritual life and further study your Catholic Faith? If you haven’t done so already, please complete and return your Commitment Card (one per family).
Our goal is to be a Stewardship Parish - a community who is noticeably committed to prayer, parish ministry, and generous financial support. All three are equally important. May God bless you as you make your commitments.

This week, the Church begins the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, celebrated each year on January 18-25. The 2021 theme is "Abide in my love ... you shall bear much fruit" (John 15:1-17). It was discerned by the sisters of the Monastic Community of Grandchamp in Switzerland. In choosing the 2021 theme, the sisters desired to share the experience and wisdom of their contemplative life abiding in the love of God and keeping his commandment of "loving one another as He has loved us." They remind Christians worldwide about the importance of praying for the fruits of closer communion with our brothers and sisters in Christ and greater solidarity with the whole of creation.

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.

We are still Celebrating!Please stay tuned by checking our smartphone app, website, and social media accounts as we are making adjustments to the indoor Mass schedule. All safety procedures for COVID-19 still in place.
While we would love for you to celebrate with us in-person, we ask that you know the risks of attending and carefully decide for yourself whether to celebrate in-person or through our livestream. 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. |
¡Todavía estamos celebrando!Estén atentos revisando nuestra aplicación para teléfonos inteligentes, sitio web y cuentas de redes sociales mientras estamos haciendo ajustes en el horario de Misas en interiores. Todos los procedimientos de seguridad para COVID-19 aún en su lugar.
Mientras nos encantaría que celebraras con nosotros en persona, te pedimos que conozcas los riesgos de asistir y que decidas cuidadosamente por ti mismo si celebrar en persona o a través de nuestra transmisión en vivo. 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. |

Our Response to COVID-19: November 17, 2020
Dear Parishioners, I am writing to everyone to let you know that once again we must conform to renewed government restrictions, which require that there be no religious gatherings of people indoors. We will no longer be permitted to admit 100 participants into the church for Mass. Therefore, for all Masses we must now ask you to come with your own chairs (and warm clothing!) and to sit outside the church. As we move outdoors, we will continue to ask everyone to wear a mask and to keep proper social distancing. As before, you have the option of remaining in your car. However, the parking spaces closest to the altar will be reserved for those who choose to sit outdoors in their own chairs. In case of bad weather please dress warmly, and bring umbrellas or family pop-up tents to protect yourselves from rain. We will continue to reserve the area closest to the altar for those sitting in chairs. Please make every effort to arrive on time, as late arrivals are distracting. The 12:15 PM Mass on Sundays will be celebrated in a slightly different way than the others. The priest will celebrate Mass inside the church, and the congregation will be outside and will participate by watching through the open doors of the church. At this 12:15 Mass, a large screen will be set up in the parking lot so that the congregation who are gathered outside the church (or in their cars) will be able to see and hear what is happening inside. At the time of Holy Communion, the Blessed Sacrament will be distributed just outside each of the doors of the church. What is the purpose of celebrating the 12:15 Sunday Mass this way? It is not for the comfort of the priest, but rather to allow the Holy Sacrifice to be celebrated at the high altar which is consecrated and has a relic within it. Instead of using the temporary outdoor altar on wheels, at the 12:15 Mass Our Lord will be inside his temple on his consecrated altar. It may seem less convenient for the congregation, but we can look forward to the day when we can enter the heavenly sanctuary! At all of the other Sunday Masses, the priest will be outside celebrating the Mass at the portable altar outside of the Community Center. For the weekday Masses, they will be celebrated in the same way as the 12:15 Mass. We will continue with the practice of distributing Holy Communion on Sundays at 4:00 PM, for those who do not feel comfortable attending Mass with a congregation. The United States bishops are pleased that there have been no reports of anyone contracting Covid-19 by attending indoor Masses in this country. Our bishop has asked county officials to consider adapting the restrictions so that we could resume indoor worship. In the meantime, we must conform to the governmental restrictions as regards religious gatherings. Because of these new regulations, we must gather outdoors for all other scheduled events, which will take place outdoors at the usual times. This includes Confessions, other Sacraments, Wednesday’s Eucharistic Spirituality, Thursday’s Holy Hour, Saturday’s Men’s Group, etc. Here at Presentation, we have been especially careful to observe all the recommended precautions for indoor and outdoor gatherings. Thank you for your continuing patience and adherence to these ever-changing regulations. Let us continue to keep our parish, community, state, nation, and world in prayer. This Saturday is November 21, the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Temple. May Our Lord and Our Lady comfort us with the hope of gathering again within the temple of the Lord! Fr. Mark |
Nuestra Respuesta a COVID-19: 17 de Noviembre de 2020
Estimados feligreses, Les escribo a todos para informarles que una vez más debemos cumplir con las renovadas restricciones gubernamentales, que requieren que no haya reuniones religiosas de personas en el interior. Ya no se nos permitirá admitir a 100 participantes en la iglesia para la Misa. Por lo tanto, para todas las Misas debemos pedirle que vengan con sus propias sillas (¡y ropa de abrigo!) y que se sienten afuera de la iglesia. Mientras nos movemos al aire libre, continuaremos pidiendo a todos que usen una máscara y que mantengan un distanciamiento social adecuado. Como antes, tienen la opción de permanecer en sus coches. Sin embargo, los espacios de estacionamiento más cercanos al altar estarán reservados para quienes opten por sentarse al aire libre en sus propias sillas. En caso de mal tiempo, vístase abrigado y traiga paraguas o tiendas de campaña familiares para protegerse de la lluvia. Continuaremos reservando el área más cercana al altar para quienes estén sentados en sillas. Por favor, haga todo lo posible por llegar a tiempo, ya que las llegadas tardías distraen. La Misa de las 12:15 PM los domingos se celebrará de una manera ligeramente diferente a las demás. El sacerdote celebrará la Misa dentro de la iglesia, y la congregación estará afuera y participará mirando a través de las puertas abiertas de la iglesia. En esta Misa de las 12:15, se instalará una pantalla grande en el estacionamiento para que la congregación que esté reunida afuera de la iglesia (o en sus autos) pueda ver y escuchar lo que está sucediendo adentro. En el momento de la Santa Comunión, el Santísimo Sacramento se distribuirá justo afuera de cada una de las puertas de la iglesia. ¿Cuál es el propósito de celebrar la Misa dominical de las 12:15 de esta manera? No es para la comodidad del sacerdote, sino para permitir que el Santo Sacrificio se celebre en el altar mayor que está consagrado y que tiene una reliquia en su interior. En lugar de usar el altar temporal al aire libre sobre ruedas, en la Misa de las 12:15 Nuestro Señor estará dentro de su templo en su altar consagrado. Puede parecer menos conveniente para la congregación, ¡pero podemos esperar el día en que podamos entrar en el santuario celestial! En todas las otras Misas dominicales, el sacerdote estará afuera celebrando la Misa en el altar portátil afuera del Centro Comunitario. Para las Misas entre semana, se celebrarán de la misma manera que la Misa de las 12:15. Continuaremos con la práctica de distribuir la Sagrada Comunión los domingos a las 4:00 PM, para aquellos que no se sientan cómodos asistiendo a Misa con una congregación. Los obispos de los Estados Unidos están complacidos de que no haya habido informes de que alguien haya contraído Covid-19 al asistir a Misas en interiores en este país. Nuestro obispo ha pedido a los funcionarios del condado que consideren adaptar las restricciones para que podamos reanudar la adoración en interiores. Mientras tanto, debemos cumplir con las restricciones gubernamentales con respecto a las reuniones religiosas. Debido a estas nuevas regulaciones, debemos reunirnos al aire libre para todos los demás eventos programados, que se llevarán a cabo al aire libre en los horarios habituales. Esto incluye Confesiones, otros Sacramentos, Espiritualidad Eucarística del Miércoles, Hora Santa del Jueves, Grupo de Hombres del Sábado, etc. En Presentación, hemos tenido cuidado especial en seguir todas las precauciones recomendadas para reuniones en interiores y exteriores. Gracias por su continua paciencia y cumplimiento de estas regulaciones en constante cambio. Sigamos manteniendo en oración a nuestra parroquia, comunidad, estado, nación y mundo. Este sábado 21 de noviembre es la Fiesta de la Presentación de la Santísima Virgen María en el Templo. ¡Que Nuestro Señor y Nuestra Señora nos consuelen con la esperanza de reunirnos de nuevo en el templo del Señor! Padre Mark |
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. |
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. |
