MEssage from our Ministers
Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
. . . for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. - Isaiah 56:7
So may your way be known upon [E]arth; among all nations, your salvation. - Psalm 67:2
For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. - Romans 11:29
I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. . . . Matthew 15:24
Can we, today, recognize that we are all welcome in God’s house of prayer, that we are called to be in relationship with God?
Can we accept God’s gifts and realize that they are given to us, not to keep for ourselves, but to share with others?
Can we realize that we are often lost, and that God seeks us with mercy, love, and forgiveness?
Can we extend the same – welcome, giftedness, mercy, love, forgiveness – to God’s children, our sisters and brothers?

¿Podemos, hoy; reconocer que todos somos bienvenidos en la casa de oración de Dios, y que estamos llamados a estar en relación con Dios?
¿Podemos aceptar los dones de Dios y darnos cuenta de que nos los han dado, no para que los guardemos para nosotros mismos, sino para compartir con los demás?
¿Podemos darnos cuenta de que a menudo estamos perdidos y que Dios nos busca con misericordia, amor y perdón?
¿Podemos ofrecer lo mismo - bienvenida, dones, misericordia, amor y perdón - a los hijos de Dios: a nuestras hermanas y hermanos.

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.
Sincerely,
Fr. Mark
PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19
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.

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.

Stewardship ReflEctions
From our Stewardship Council
|
20th Sunday of Ordinary Time “For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.” - Romans 11:29 God has a special mission in mind for each of us. He has given us the gifts we need to accomplish that mission. We are called to be good stewards by using those gifts to do the work that He has planned for each of us. If we deny our gifts or fail to use them as God calls us to use them, then some part of His work will be left undone. |

20º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"Porque los dones y el llamado de Dios son irrevocables". - ROMANOS 11:29
Dios tiene una misión especial en mente para cada uno de nosotros. Nos ha dado los dones que necesitamos para cumplir esa misión. Estamos llamados a ser buenos administradores al usar esos dones para hacer el trabajo que Él ha planeado para cada uno de nosotros. Si negamos nuestros dones o no los usamos como Dios nos llama a usarlos, entonces parte de su obra quedará sin hacer.

From our Minister of religious Education
Sharing the Gospel:
Jesus met a woman who had amazing faith. She was brave. She was loud. She did not care what anybody else thought. Jesus was the Savior, and she knew he could heal her daughter. Jesus can help you with any problem you have, too. Be brave. Keep asking Jesus for help. God is strong. He can do anything.
Prayer:
Jesus, help me to be brave. I know you can do anything.
Something to Draw:
Draw a picture of the brave woman asking Jesus for help.
Mission for the Week:
If you know someone who is sick, be brave and pray about it. Jesus can do anything.

Spiritual Communion
Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:
O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux
1090-1153
Feast Day: August 20th
Known as Bernard of Clairvaux, this French abbot and doctor of the church is considered the second founder of the Cistercians. He entered the relatively new monastery at Citeaux in 1113 with four of his own brothers and 27 friends, and later founded the monastery at Clairvaux, which gave birth to 68 other communities. Despite poor health and his devotion to personal mortification, Bernard was an early Western European rock star: He was consulted by popes and kings, battled heresies, and supported the Second Crusade. The sick and maimed lined the roads he traveled, hoping for a miracle. Dante chose Bernard as his final guide in “Paradiso,” at the end of “The Divine Comedy.” He is the patron of Gibraltar.

Los enfermos y mutilados bordeaban los caminos que él recorría, esperando que se produjera un milagro. Dante eligió a Bernardo como su guía final en el “Paraíso”, al término de “La Divina Comedia”. Él es el patrón de Gibraltar.

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! |

In Our Parish School
“Alone we can do so little, together we can so much.” - Helen Keller. Our new normal (for now): teaching lessons via ZOOM. Our teachers are working around the clock and going above & beyond to be there for their students.
Prayer to Begin a School Year/Semester
Blessed are you, Lord God,
Creator of body and mind and heart; you have sent the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge to guide your people in all their ways. At the beginning of this new school year (or semester/term) we implore your mercy: bless the students, teachers, and staff, that together we may grow in faith, hope, and love as we learn from you and each other how to follow your Son Jesus. Expand the horizons of our minds, that we may grow in wisdom, understanding, and knowledge; deepen our commitment to seek the truth of your ways; and enliven our faith to reach out to those in need. Glory and praise to you, Lord God, in the Church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever.
R/. Amen

Expand the horizons of our minds, that we may grow in wisdom, understanding, and knowledge; deepen our commitment to seek the truth of your ways; and enliven our faith to reach out to those in need. Glory and praise to you, Lord God, in the Church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever.
R/. Amen
