Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 20, 2019

Dear parishioners:

We thank you for the over $550 contribution to the collection for the retired priests. God bless you!

Religious Education Classes are held every Sat. and Sunday. The par-ent classes are held at the same time. We can’t take new registra-tions at this time.

The Presentation Eleventh Annual Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on July 28, 2020 next year. As you know it supports our scholar-ship program through the parish and the diocese. Your support as a sponsor or a player is very helpful. Save the date!

We really need your help just to pay the bills! Please consider an in-creased gift to the parish. We need to remove one tree and trim sev-eral others. It will cost $1500. We also need more money to fund the St. Vincent de Paul Outreach. It is a very important part of our parish ministry. Many thanks.

The needs list goes on! We need more people to serve mass. We have new servers at 8:30 a.m. There is no age limit! Consider doing it as a family. Contact Deacon Pablo at the parish office.

Finally, we need more volunteers for our evangelization outreach. It just takes a little bit of time to contact and welcome people into our neighborhoods. We now receive about 50 names each month. The contact list of new family’s needs to be distributed to the volunteers for personal visits. Several of the Hispanic groups have offered to help Chris Murphy with this. Please contact me or Chris Murphy at 303-384-0319.

Marriage preparation: Please see us 8 months before your marriage. Classes: $185 per couple. Register at www.catholicmarriageprep.com. For classes.

Our parish website is “presentationdenver.org”. There are many helpful articles on it.

If you haven’t given to the Archbishop’s Appeal, please do so today!

May the Spirit of Jesus fill our hearts with His

generous Love!

Do Not Conform Yourself to this Age St Paul tells us, "Do not conform your-self to this age but ...discern...what is good and pleasing..." Since Roe v. Wade, around 60 million innocent children have lost their God-given right to live. An entire class of persons, children in the womb, have been relegated to the status of “chattel”, personal property, who can be disposed of by those more power-ful than they. They have no power to resist. They are subject to abuse and destruction by those with more power, namely the power of the State. They have no voice that can be heard except our own. Without doubt, the killing of innocent children in the womb is the pre-eminent moral evil of our age. It is for this reason that we must "not conform" to this grave injustice. As St Paul tells us, we must instead stand on the side of truth and justice and "what is good and pleasing to God". We must recognize what both medical science and natural justice tell us: chil-dren in the womb are human persons with an inalienable right to life. Undoubtedly, the most important hu-man rights issue of our age is to pro-tect our "first neighbors" ----children in the womb. The womb is the "first home" of the whole human race and standing up for them is a matter of solidarity with our neighbor and love for the poor. We should not stand by while thousands of children every day are evicted and killed! Our call (as St Paul reminds us) is to replace the current culture of death with a new culture of life and a civiliza-tion of love.

This is a tithing parish and when we mention different charities that are re-

ceiving a tithe on certain weekends (unless otherwise specified) that means that that specific charity/program will receive 10% of the total offertory collec-tion that weekend. This weekend’s tithe

will go to support World Mission’s. Please continue to give generously!

There are no more reloadable King Soop-ers cards. There is a new way to help Presentation benefit from purchases you make at King Soopers.
