Your donations to our annual Giving Tuesday campaign will go towards our Building and Maintenance fund. Your support will help with the needed upkeep and expenses of the facilities on our campus (from leaking rooftops, cracks in the ground, holes in the walls of our church, and more).

2021-2022 Stewardship Renewal
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.

Liturgy of the week
OUR PARISH -OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE / Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo
His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed. - Daniel 7:14
Your throne stands firm from of old; from everlasting you are, O Lord. - Psalm 93:2
Behold, he is coming amid the clouds. . . .
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty.” - Revelation 1:7, 8
My kingdom does not belong to this world. - John 18:36
In Already and Not Yet, Daniel J. Harrington notes: “The terms ‘already’ and ‘not yet’ capture the New Testament dynamic of eschatology. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection we have already been freed from domination by sin and death and freed for life in the Holy Spirit. And so we can now stand beside Jesus and address God as ‘Our Father,’ as we look forward in hope for the fullness of God’s kingdom. As we live between the times of the ‘already’ and the ‘not yet,’ we continue to pray ‘Thy kingdom come!’”
As we end one liturgical year and move toward the new liturgical year, let us remember that God is present in everything, that God is the beginning and the end, “the Alpha and the Omega.” Let us fill our days and nights with the awareness that God is all in all.

"Su imperio es un imperio eterno, que nunca pasará, y su reino no será destruido jamás." - Daniel, 7 - Bíblia Católica Online
"2.Desde el principio tu trono esta fijado, desde siempre existes tú."
Salmos, 93 - Bíblia Católica Online
"Mirad, viene acompañado de nubes". . . ""Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, dice el Señor Dios, «Aquel que es, que era y que va a venir», el Todopoderoso." - Apocalipsis, 1 - Bíblia Católica Online
"Mi Reino no es de este mundo." - Juan, 18 - Bíblia Católica Online
En el "Ya" y el "aún no", Daniel J. Harrington señala que: “Los términos "'ya" y "aún no"' capturan la dinámica escatológica (es la parte de la teología que se refiere a la muerte, juicio y destino final del alma y de la humanidad) del Nuevo Testamento. A través de la muerte y resurrección de Jesús, ya hemos sido liberados del dominio del pecado y la muerte y liberados para vivir en el Espíritu Santo. Y por ello ahora, podemos estar al lado de Jesús y dirigirnos a Dios como "Padre nuestro", mientras vemos hacia adelante, con la esperanza de la plenitud del reino de Dios. Mientras vivimos entre los tiempos del "ya" y el "todavía no", continuemos orando "¡Venga tu reino!"
Al estar ya finalizando un año litúrgico y avanzar hacia el nuevo año litúrgico, recordemos que Dios está presente en todo, que Dios es el principio y el fin, “el Alfa y la Omega”. Llenemos nuestros días y nuestras noches con la conciencia de que Dios es todo en todos.

FR. MARK'S REFLECTIONS AND ARTICLES / REFLEXIONES Y ARTÍCULOS DEL P. MARK
FR. MARK'S REFLECTIONS AND ARTICLES / REFLEXIONES Y ARTÍCULOS DEL P. MARK
Gospel Meditation / Fr. Mark's Reflection
“He has made us into a kingdom…”
Today is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. The readings today emphasize his greatness, but the second reading it says that Jesus also wants us to be great. He wants us to share in his power. It says that he has “made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father…” (Rev. 1:5-8) By baptism we are given a share in his power to be priest, prophet and king. All Catholics are supposed to help Jesus to rule, guide and pray for the world. We know that the saints became stronger and healthier and wiser and more fully alive. The saints developed their natural abilities to the utmost with the help of God. St. Irenaeus wrote “the Glory of God is man, fully alive.”
We can be proud of the fact that many Catholics have become great and have had a positive influence on the world. Many of the greatest artists and writers and musicians of the world were Catholic, including: J.R. Tolkien, William Shakespeare and Flannery O’Connor.
Many great athletes have been outspoken about their Catholic faith helped them through difficult times, including Vince Lombardi, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Lasorda, Brett Favre, Don Shula, and Phillip Rivers.
It is important for us to remember that many of the greatest scientists were priests or devout Catholics, including Roger Bacon (Franciscan who invented the scientific method), Blaise Pascal (mathematician and physicist), Louis Pasteur (chemist who invented “pasteurization”), Gregor Mendel (who founded the science of Genetics), Eugenio Barsanti (priest who invented the internal combustion engine), Ramon Llull (invented the first computer), Theodoric Freiberg (priest who gave the first correct explanation of rainbows), Georges Lemaitre (priest physicist who first proposed the theory of the Big Bang). (There are more examples at http://thomism.org/history/catholic_scientists).
We rejoice today that Jesus is the King, and we also thank him because he has “called us to the glory that made us a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart” (Sunday Preface 1).

MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO/MENSAJE DE FR. MARK:
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO
"Él ha hecho de Nosotros un Reino..."
Hoy es la Solemnidad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo. Las lecturas de hoy enfatizan la grandeza de Jesus, pero la segunda lectura dice que Jesús también quiere que NOSOTROS seamos grandes. Quiere que compartamos su poder. Dice que “ha hecho de nosotros un reino de sacerdotes para su Dios y Padre…” (Apocalipsis 1: 5-8). Mediante el bautismo se nos da una participación en su poder de ser sacerdote, profeta y rey. Se supone que todos los católicos deben ayudar a Jesús a gobernar, guiar y orar por el mundo. Sabemos que los santos se volvieron más fuertes, más sanos, más sabios y más vivos. Los santos desarrollaron al máximo sus habilidades naturales con la ayuda de Dios. San Ireneo escribió "la gloria de Dios es el hombre, plenamente vivo".
Podemos estar orgullosos del hecho de que muchos católicos se han vuelto grandes y han tenido una influencia positiva en el mundo. Muchos de los mejores artistas, escritores y músicos del mundo eran católicos, entre ellos: J.R. Tolkien, William Shakespeare y Flannery O’Connor.
Muchos grandes atletas han expresado abiertamente que su fe católica les ayudó en tiempos difíciles, incluidos Vince Lombardi, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Lasorda, Brett Favre, Don Shula y Phillip Rivers.
Es importante para nosotros recordar que muchos de los más grandes científicos eran sacerdotes o católicos devotos, entre ellos Roger Bacon (franciscano que inventó el método científico), Blaise Pascal (matemático y físico), Louis Pasteur (químico que inventó la "pasteurización"), Gregor Mendel (quien fundó la ciencia de la Genética), Eugenio Barsanti (sacerdote que inventó el motor de combustión interna), Ramon Llull (inventó la primera computadora), Theodoric Freiberg (sacerdote que dio la primera explicación correcta de los arco iris), Georges Lemaitre (sacerdote físico que propuso por primera vez la teoría del Big Bang). (Hay más ejemplos en http://thomism.org/history/catholic_scientists).
Nos regocijamos hoy de que Jesús sea el Rey, y también le agradecemos porque nos ha “llamado a la gloria que nos hizo linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo apartado” (Prefacio dominical 1).
-P. Marcos

“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.’”

FR. MARK'S REFLECTIONS AND ARTICLES / REFLEXIONES Y ARTÍCULOS DEL P. MARK
|
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!

The USCCB created a short reflection on the 2020-2021 Respect Life theme, “Live the Gospel of Life.” It explores how Jesus becoming man and redeeming us through his humanity reveals the dignity of all human life and how the Gospel of life is therefore essential to our identity as followers of Christ.

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.

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.
(Adapted by the Knights of Columbus from the prayer by Pope Francis)
