"Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels." - Hebrews 13:2
Create in me a Love ever more open
Create in me a love ever more open, Lord,
that I may move beyond myself,
that I may transcend man-made borders
that I may go to the periphery,
that I may seek the hidden exile,
that I may offer generous hospitality, and
that I may rid racism from my heart.
In this way, may I help create conditions
where every person can thrive,
where community replaces isolation,
where racism is stamped out,
where justice is restored,
where work, land and housing are available for all, and
where the human family can live in harmony.
Guide us on the journey to the true path of peace, Lord.
Help us live out your vision of a world where no one is excluded
and the earth’s goods are shared and cared for by all.
Amen.
The mission of Holy Grounds Café is to create a welcoming environment to strengthen our Catholic community through hospitality and fellowship. Holy Grounds Café is a non-profit venture, and earnings from the café will be donated to parish ministries. Volunteers are needed to staff the café at various times. Volunteers will receive training on preparing and handling the beverages and snacks offered in the café. Please consider joining this new ministry as a way of connecting with old friends and making new ones.
We are open the 2nd thru 5th Sunday mornings, 7:30 am - 10:30 am.

Presentation Church, in its effort to be a genuine Christian community, where warmth and welcome are readily found, has a Hospitality Ministry. This ministry seeks to make that "warmth and welcome" a tangible reality through hosting a quarterly dinner at the parish to welcome newly registered families, taking a gift on behalf of the parish to the homes of new families, and helping to create a hospitable environment at our church through greeting people as they arrive at the doors of the church.
