STARTING 2022 WELL: Check out our programming for January!

December 31 -  Merry Christmas!  Christ is born!  Happy New Year!  All people of good will are welcome to join our parishioners at the following activities,  starting tonight at 11:15 p.m.:

END-OF-YEAR HOLY HOUR, Dec. 31 (11:15 p.m. to 12:15 a.m.) at Presentation Church, 209 Hoyt Street, Port Ewen.   A quiet alternative to the usual New Year's revelry.  Get a SON-tan from adoring the Real Presence as we pass from 2021 to 2022.  No need to reserve your space.  Come with your reverence and openness to His presence.

HOLY MASS FOR THE SOLEMNITY OF MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, Jan. 1st, 10 a.m. at Presentation Church, 209 Hoyt Street, Port Ewen, and 11 a.m. (Extraordinary Form) at Sacred Heart Church, 1055 Broadway (Rte. 9W) , Esopus.   Although the Catholic bishops of the United States have exempted Jan 1st, 2022 as a holy day of obligation, our parish will offer Holy Mass in both forms of the Roman Rite in honor of the solemnity.

MEETING OF THE ULSTER DEANERY RESPECT LIFE COMMITTEE, Jan. 4th, 7 p.m., Our Lady of Fatima Church, 1250 State Route 32, Walkill, New York.   Although the meeting is not at our parish, we strongly encourage our parishioners to attend the meeting if they can as Presentation-Sacred Heart Parish has been committed for a long, long time to the pro-life apostolate.  

OBSERVANCE OF THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF UNBORN CHILDREN (49th anniversary of the  Roe v. Wade decision of the U.S. Supreme Court).  Implementing the initiative by the Ulster Deanery Respect Life Committee, we urge our parishioners and invite ALL people of good will as follows:

8 a.m. Mass of Reparation for the Legalization of Abortion at Presentation Church, followed by a Holy Hour of Reparation

3:45 - 4:45 p.m.  Holy Hour of Reparation at Sacred Heart Church.  Confessions will be heard during the Holy Hour by Fr. Rojas.  The Vigil Mass for Sunday, January 23rd will follow at 5 p.m.

FELLOWSHIP HOUR, Sunday, January 30th after the 11 a.m. Mass (Extraordinary Form) at Sacred Heart Church.    We thank Mrs. Lori-Ann Clavin and her colleagues for making this possible every month as an opportunity for Mass-goers to get to know each other and develop friendship between brothers and sisters in Christ at our parish.
