Prayer to mary, health of the sick
"O Mary,
you always shine on 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, keeping your faith firm.
You, Patroness and Protector of the People of the United States of America,
know what we need,
and we are sure you will provide
so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting
after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who has taken upon himself our sufferings
and carried our sorrows
to lead us, through the cross,
to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger,
O glorious and blessed Virgin." Amen.

Presentation Parish - Coronavirus Update March 23
Please know of my continued prayers for all of you in these uncertain and anxious times. While our ability to gather together as a community for worship and our vari
ous ministries is limited at this time, let’s remember the importance of staying connected through our faith and prayers. Keeping everyone safe and healthy is also a priority, so we are sending the following updates based on the new protocols from our public officials and our diocese. We will make changes as needed.- All weekday and weekend Masses will not be celebrated publicly through at least April 23. Fr. Tom and Fr. Olvin will continue to celebrate daily Mass and weekend Mass privately.
- You can view the Gospel and homily from weekday Mass and the entire weekend Mass from Presentation by going to our website – www.olpls.org. You can also access other prayer resources through our website. There is a beautiful picture of our worship space on the home page of our website that you can also look at during your personal prayer time at home.
- All of our regular ministry meetings, classes, and programs are cancelled until further notice.
- At this time, and please note this may change again, the church will be open for private prayer from 10am-2pm M-F and 10am-Noon Saturday and Sunday. You can only enter through the north church entrance far right door. Please observe social distancing guidelines and refrain from touching surfaces. The church will be monitored through our video cameras.
- Confessions will be offered Monday and Wednesday from 5-6pm and Saturday from 3:30-4:30pm. Access to church is through the north entrance far right door. These will be held outside the confessional to follow recommended guidelines. Again, please observe social distancing if others are present.
- The Parish Office staff will continue to be available through phone calls and emails, but the Office will not be open for physical access. Please be sure to call the office with any needs or questions. You can also use the drop box in the glass entry area. In case of emergency, our answering service will continue to answer after hours calls.
- PLEASE continue your contributions to the parish and our Capital Campaign by using our ONLINE GIVING option on the parish website, or by mailing or dropping off your contribution to the Parish Office. We especially appreciate your support in these difficult times.
- Please be sure to check our website, Facebook page, and Constant Contacts for regular updates. Our parish staff can also be contacted by phone or email if you need information.
We will do our best to stay connected with you in these challenging times. Let us keep one another in prayer and especially pray for all those affected by the coronavirus and all those putting themselves on the frontlines of care. During these times when many people feel isolated, it is more important than ever to stay in contact with our families, friends, and neighbors, especially the elderly.
Many Blessings,
Fr. Tom

sharing gifts that matter most
A Stewardship Reflection by: Jane O’Brien, Stewardship Director
This is definitely an uncertain time for everyone and as the days unfold, I know the unknown can be stressful for many. Late yesterday afternoon I took a long walk with my youngest son (who happens to be 21 years young). As we walked through our neighborhood there were more families out playing than what has been the norm over the past few years. Often times the kids in our neighborhood are out but yesterday it was noticeable that they were joined by Dad or Mom or both. Families are spending time together instead of rushing from one activity to the next.
There were also many others who were out taking walks and just today, while on my lunch hour,
I saw a family of five out for a bike ride.
Last night I shared with my husband that as difficult as this is for so many it seems to me that there is also something very sacred happening in our world. Families are spending more time together, more people are praying for those who are suffering and most especially our health care workers, extra efforts are being made to support small, local businesses and my experience has been that everyone has been just a little bit more kind.
I have seen it firsthand in my own home, the walk and conversation with my youngest son, my older son and his willingness to help with technology during this time while my husband acclimates to working from home, the conversation and the laughter. Are there stresses? Absolutely, and I realize that those with school-age children will feel that stress even more and our elderly may feel more isolated. But if you are aware, the blessings are present.
Perhaps homeschooling is not your gift! So, perhaps the greatest gift you can offer during this time is the gift of patience, a gift of reaching out to others, if that math problem isn’t going so well perhaps a handwritten note to reach out to friends and family would be time better spent. Share the blessings you have experienced in your life or the life of your family during this time on your Face Book page. You might inspire others to share theirs as well.
I just read an article that ended with these lines:
Don’t worry about your child regressing in school. Every single kid is in the exact same boat. Teachers are the experts and when classrooms do resume they will meet them where they are. Don’t spend your days frustrated and yelling at your children. At the end of this, your mental health and the mental health of your children will be more important than their academic skills. And how they felt during this time will stay with them long after the memory of what they did during those four or more weeks are long gone. Keep that in mind every day!
I encourage you to share the gifts that matter most during this time; the gift of prayer, the gift of patience, the gift of kindness, the gift of reaching out and supporting those in need, the gift of simply being present to those in your own home. During this time, may we be grateful and aware of the gifts and blessings from God each and every day and may we offer those gifts and blessings to others.
