Good News, Parents! Religious Education Registration and Re-registration Starts NOW
"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?...So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead...Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works." James 2:14,17,18bc.
Building on the example and cooperation of our parents and guardians, who are the first formators of Catholic children, our Religious Education team of clerics, catechists, and other volunteers strive to show our children and youths how to LIVE the Catholic FAITH with the WORKS of their prayers, words, choices, and deeds in our families, at our parish, in the greater Church, and in society.
Fr. Rojas, our new Administrator, and Mrs. Metelski, our Coordinator of Religious Education, are happy to encourage our parents to register their children entering first to ninth grades into the new year of Religious Education. Although letters and forms have been mailed already to parents who have had children enrolled in our program, we welcome the opportunity to help more Catholic parents to raise the next generation of committed Catholics through our program. For new registrations or questions about re-registrations, kindly call Mrs. Metelski at 845/384-6828 or contact her at religiouseducation@presentationsacredheart.org
Let's make the most of this moment, especially because fees will increase on September 1st. Given that classes will start on September 15th and in fairness to our dedicated corps of volunteer catechists, we cannot guarantee that there will be spots available after September 15th in our program.======================================================== NEWS FOR LECTORS AND EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION
Fr. Rojas would like to meet all the lectors and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion from both churches on Tuesday, August 3rd at 6 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 1055 Broadway, Esopus, New York. Pizza and refreshments will be provided. Kindly R.S.V.P. at frrojas@presentationsacredheart.org or by calling (845) 331-0053 or (845) 384-6828.
===============================================================In July, there was a great program at P.B.V.M. for women.
In August, the men will have their turn at Sacred Heart!We invite ALL the men of our parish to a Men's Morning on Saturday, August 14th starting at 9:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 1055 Broadway, Esopus, New York. We are grateful to Rev. Fr. Marc Oliver for leading the program, which after a gathering at 9:30 a.m., will feature Mass in the Extraordinary Form at 10 a.m. and then another gathering from 11 a.m. to the end at 12 noon. Boys under 18 may attend IF they are accompanied by their fathers, uncles, grandfathers, or adult elder brothers.
=========================================================PIME Missionaries
The weekend of July 31 and August 1, there will be a presentation at all Masses about the work of the PIME Missionaries. Founded in Italy in 1850, PIME Missionaries are priests and brothers who dedicate themselves as lifelong messengers of the Gospel to those who have not yet heard the Word of God. They live and work alongside the poorest among us in 19 countries, shedding light on the silent struggles of our brothers and sisters in the missions and connecting them to those with a spirit to help. Thanks in advance for your prayerful generosity at the second collection this Saturday evening and Sunday! Find out more at www.pimeusa.org

Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in 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. -
Prayer to End Coronavirus Pandemic - Pope Francis
O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus' pain.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that,
as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father's will
and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas - we who are put to the test - and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. -
