My dear people of Presentation,


I write to you, first, to give thanks to God for the gift of your priests, Fr. Madhu Appanapalle and Fr. Sudhakar Manda. These two fine priests have been a profound blessing to your parish and our Diocese, and we are grateful for all they have accomplished during their time of service at Presentation. 


When the Lord blesses our Diocese with talented priests such as these, we know it is only a matter of time before those talents are called upon for other parish assignments. As such, I write to you today to share news that is bittersweet, but news that I hope you will receive with understanding and celebration.


Beginning July 1, 2026:

  • Fr. Madhu Appanapalle will be the new Parochial Administrator of St. Anthony's in Hughson.
  • Fr. Sudhakar Manda will begin a new assignment as Parochial Vicar at Sacred Heart in Turlock.
  • Fr. Vijaya Yemparla, from St. Anthony's in Hughson, will be our new Parochial Vicar.
  • Fr. Mathew Isaac will also be joining us on a part-time basis as he will continue to share his time as the Chaplain at St. Mary's High School.
  • Fr. Alvaro Delgado, who is retired, will be in-residence, and help as needed.

Mis queridos feligreses de la Presentación:

 

Les escribo, en primer lugar, para dar gracias a Dios por el don de sus sacerdotes, el Padre Madhu Appanapalle y el Padre Sudhakar Manda. Estos dos excelentes sacerdotes han sido una profunda bendici6n para su parroquia y para nuestra Diócesis, y estamos muy agradecidos por todo lo que han logrado durante su tiempo de servicio en la Presentación.

 

Cuando el Señor bendice a nuestra Diócesis con sacerdotes talentosos como ellos, sabemos que es solo cuestión de tiempo para que esos talentos sean requeridos en otras asignaciones parroquiales. Por lo tanto, les escribo hoy para compartir una noticia que es agridulce, pero que espero reciban con comprensión y celebración.


A partir del 1 de julio de 2026:

  • El P. Madhu Appanapalle será el nuevo administrador parroquial de St. Anthony en Hughson.
  • El P. Sudhakar Manda comenzará una nueva asignación como vicario parroquial en Sacred Heart en Turlock.
  • El P. Vijaya Yemparla, proveniente de St. Anthony en Hughson, será nuestro nuevo vicario parroquial.
  • El P. Mathew Isaac también se unirá a nosotros a tiempo parcial, ya que continuará dividiendo su tiempo para servir como capellán de la escuela secundaria St. Mary's.
  • El P. Alvaro Delgado, quien está jubilado, residirá en la parroquia y colaborará según sea necesario.

How The BMA Helps Our Parish:

Bishop's Office

Bishop Cotta provides leadership and support for our parish school. He visits Presentation School and presides over Mass at least once a year and visits classrooms as his schedule allows. He is also the presider for our 8th grade Confirmation Mass. On the business end, he approves a minimum diocesan pay scale for our staff to help schools stay competitive with the public schools. His message to the student leaders at this year's Catholic Schools Week Mass was, "You can have straight A's but if you aren't compassionate, or caring, or bear the light of Jesus to everyone you meet, your grades mean nothing."

Bishop's Office

Ana Maria Franco, the Executive Assistant to the Vicar General, Episcopal Vicar, and Chancellor, sends out the annual October Mass count spreadsheet and has helped us in working with the formulas. We work with the Bishop's office to schedule the Confirmation Masses and to seek delegation for emergency Confirmations.

Catholic Schools Office

Marian Graham provides leadership, direction, and support for Pastors and Principals. She meets with principals monthly and oversees diocesan school events such as the Beginning of the Year Diocesan School Staff Workshop and Mass. She works on salary scales for the teachers and presents them to Bishop Cotta for approval. She works with parents who have called the diocesan office with school concerns. She keeps schools up to date on the latest information for illness, trends, etc. Marian also also facilitates the SEEDS and Stagnaro Scholarships. She also oversees our EdJoin account and sends employment applications to principals as they are submitted.

Catholic Schools Office

Judee Sani heads professional development for diocesan teachers as well as the New Teacher Monthly meetups. She is a resource for ARK Religion Testing and STAR Math and Reading Standardized Assessments. She serves as the Western Catholic Education Association Commissioner and assists schools as they go through the accreditation process. She is also a resource for curriculum purchasing and continued implementation.

Catholic Schools Office

Jamie Bondoc works with schools to create marketing materials and other avenues to boost enrollment.

Clergy Services

The office of Clergy Services provide our clergy with ongoing formation, training, retreats, and guidance. They also follow up on letters of suitability for visiting clergy who come to celebrate funerals and weddings.

Communications

Marriage preparation documents and resources on the diocesan website offer insights and answers to questions that we share with couples who are preparing to marry in the Church.

Development & Stewardship

The Office of Development and Stewardship provides resources and materials for the BMA and Capital Campaign. They also provide up-to-date tracking of pledges, gifts, and balances.

Evangelization and Faith Formation

The Office of Evangelization & Faith Formation holds monthly meetings to share information and updates on guidelines for the Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation. They also provide spiritual retreats and formation for catechists, ministry directors, and coordinators. They work with us on our curriculum and help with presentations by various publishers.

Human Resources

The Human Resources Department ensures our parish is up-to-date with HR related materials and resources. They work with us to ensure we are in compliance with local and state employment guidelines. Additionally, they work with our parish on the Safe Environment program, to protect the safety of the children and vulnerable in our community.

Liturgy and Worship Office

They are very helpful in answering questions and clarifying points. Areas of expertise they have assisted us with are sacraments (especially guidance on protocol for special circumstances) and special liturgies. They offer training for ministers to coordinate the OCIA program and remain up to date with the current norms promulgated by the USCCB.

School of Ministry

The School of Ministry offers resources to share with our parishioners for ongoing adult formation in many different areas of spiritual growth.

Tribunal Office (Marriage)

The Marriage Tribunal is providing a workshop to go over the updated requirements on forms, documents, and processes that parishes need for the Sacrament of Marriage. In turn, we will be well-informed and able to assist couples looking to receive the sacrament and commit to the vocation of marriage. Additionally, they provide training and guidance on annulments.

Revival’s in the Air

AN EXCITING JOURNEY AHEAD


Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery here in the United States by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
