Art & Environment: Parishioners who are gifted in the visual arts of floral arranging, or interior design are welcome to participate in the Art & Environment of the parish. This group meets to design, decorate and remove decorations for the interiors of the church and gathering space for each of the Liturgical Seasons.

Church Cleaning:  Church Cleaning is a new ministry at Presentation during these times of
Covid-19.  Church cleaners stay after mass and clean the pews so that the church is disinfected and ready for the next mass. A short training session is required.
