15th Sunday of Ordinary Time
“The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word but then the cares of the world and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit.” - Matthew 13:22 Does the lure of riches and material goods choke God out of your life? Are you so caught up in earthly activities that you have no time for God? Gratitude and generosity are virtues that we should strive to do on a daily basis. Every decision we make either takes us one step closer to God or one step further away. What we receive at Mass every Sunday should be shared with others all the other days of the week as well. 15º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario "La semilla sembrada entre espinas es la que escucha la palabra, pero luego las preocupaciones del mundo y el atractivo de las riquezas ahogan la palabra y no da fruto". - MATEO 13:22 |

Coming Soon: Brand New Church Bulletin!!
Starting the weekend of September 6th, Church of the Presentation will have a BRAND NEW Church Bulletin, printed by LPi. LPi offers the latest technology in digital, print and communication products, as well as engagement tools that will allow us to grow a vibrant faith community. Gina Shaughnessy, our parish representative from LPi, is currently working on the business ads for the back cover. We hope that parishioners will consider advertising on the bulletin, since the revenue from the ads, is what will make the bulletin possible, at no cost to the parish. It’s a terrific way to get your name in front of the parish families, business owners, and visitors at the church. Advertisements can be purchased for a business, for a family, or a sponsorship ad for a non-profit organization. This is a great way for businesses to promote what they do, while at the same time connecting with the community, and benefitting the church at the same time. Please do give these ideas some thought. We need and appreciate your help! If you are interested in participating, or would like more information, you can either call Gina at (916) 200-8979, or email her at GShaughnessy@4LPi.com . Thank you for your consideration and support! |
