This weekend we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord. Since this event in Scr ipture connects closely with Christ’s Resurrection and the Feast of Pentecost, many dioceses now celebrate the Ascension on a Sunday so that more people can take part. The Ascension reminds us that after Jesus appeared to the disciples following his Resurrection, he then was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. Before Jesus ascends, he tells his disciples: Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. He tells them that signs will accompany the good works they do in his name. These signs remind them that they have protec-tion against evil and harm, as long as they trust in Christ’s presence. While Jesus will no longer be with his disciples in a bodily way, he is still with them as they witness to his love and truth in the world and become his presence for others. We are called to do the same. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mothers in our community. Our mothers bless us with the gift of life and are called to be a reminder for us of God’s love. We are grateful for the sacrifices our mothers make and the many ways they teach us about love and faith. While we celebrate our mothers in a special way this weekend, let us give thanks for them every day through our love and prayers. Below is a Mother’s Day blessing: Good and Gentle God, we pray in gratitude for our moth-ers, for all the women who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life, and for all those women who have loved and shaped us through their motherly care and compassion. Grant to all mothers the courage they need to face the uncertain future that life with children always brings. Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly. Give them the faithful support of family and friends as they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children. Give them joy and delight in their children to sustain them through the trials of motherhood. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most. Amen. Congratulations to all the graduates in our commu-nity. Many schools will be holding graduations in the coming weeks. The 8th graders from Presentation graduate this Thursday, May 17 and our Pre-K children graduate this Wednesday, May 16. We are proud of all their accom-plishments. Please keep all our graduates in your prayers. Next weekend we will bring the Easter season to a close with the Feast of Pentecost. This feast reminds us of the powerful gift of the Holy Spirit shared with each of us. The liturgical color for this feast is red. We invite you to WEAR RED clothing to Mass next weekend. Many Blessings!

Maintenance Coordinator

Presentation Parish is seeking a person to perform maintenance and upkeep of parish and school build-ings including mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems and grounds. Oversees part-time mainte-nance and seasonal grounds employees and outside contractors. Candidate will personally perform many maintenance functions including preventive mainte-nance, rectify safety issues, paint, and some snow removal. Applicants need to be self-starters, have a good understanding of general maintenance practic-es, able to walk/stand throughout the day, able to lift over 50 pounds, and understand and follow safety requirements. This is a full-time hourly, non-exempt position, Monday through Friday, with occasional evenings and weekend work. Interested applicants should contact Carolyn Christian via e-mail cchristianson@olpls.org or call 251-1100.

Planning Study Update

Our Lady of the Presentation offers an “Online Giving” option for parishioners. This is an easy, safe and secure

way to make contributions online and to update your contact information.

For assistance in using the updated Online Giving portal, contact Carolyn or Karen, 251-1100.

Dear Parishioners, As I have mentioned previously, there were many written comments from parishioners included in the survey and interview responses during our Planning Study. A few people mentioned the need to make sure the parish does not go into too much debt if we are to embark on the proposed projects. As debt has been an issue in the past, we would certainly want to have a prudent plan for the repayment of any debt that would be incurred. Through the generous financial stewardship of our parishioners, our parish has been debt free for about the past four years. During this time, we have been able to complete several needed projects through contributions to the Future Projects Fund. We have paid for these projects as they happened, without any debt. Over the past four years, we have also been able to build our reserves on deposit with the diocese to around $600,000. While this is not a huge amount for a parish our size, it does give us a safety net especially as we look at some larger capital improvements. All of this puts us in a good place to address needs and plan for the future. Also, the diocese does have requirements before money will be loaned to begin any construction projects. A parish must have cash savings on deposit plus Capital Campaign pledges that total at least 70% of the project cost. And the diocese will grant loans for no more than 50% of the project cost. These requirements help insure that a proper plan is in place. Please continue to pray for our parish as we decide on next steps. Many Blessings, Fr. Tom

PASTORAL CARE

Bishop James Johnston will celebrate the Golden Wedding Anniversary Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday, June 10 at 2:00 p.m. Each couple will receive a card and gift. Immediately following the Mass, there will be a dessert reception in the Cardinal Baum Room at the Catholic Center (9th & Baltimore). The event is for couples and their immediate families. The celebration includes couples whose 50th Wedding Anniversary falls between January 1 and December 31, 2018. Please call the Parish Of ice, 251-1100, to RSVP before May 28.

There is a need for more parishioners to commit to one hour a week in prayer through

Eucharistic Adoration. Each of us have the same number of hours

in the day. Often times we run from one commitment to another without reflecting on our relationship with God. There is no right or wrong

way to spend time in front of the Eucharist. The most important thing is that you have taken

an hour of your time and offered it as a gift to God.

ADORATION HOURS Monday, Wednesday & Friday

9am to 8pm in the St. Ann Chapel

To sign up for a specific time, contact Roger or Beth Tilling, 524-8572,

btilling@aol.com or Jane Krawczyk, jkrawczyk@olpls.org

La Ascensión de Jesús al Cielo Naturaleza misionera de la Iglesia

Queridos hermanos y hermanas, hoy estamos celebrando la ascensión de Jesús al cielo, con esta solemnidad termina el período de cuarenta días, que separan el momento de la Resurrección de nuestro Señor Jesucristo de su Ascensión. Este es también el momento de la separación definitiva del Maestro de sus Apóstoles y de los discípulos. Jesucristo puede irse tranquilo. La Ascensión no es ningún momento dramático ni para Jesús ni para los discípulos. La Ascensión es la despedida de un fundador, que deja a sus hijos la tarea de continuar su obra, pero no deján-dolos abandonados a su suerte, sino siguiendo paso a paso las vicisitudes de su fundación en el mundo mediante su Espíritu. Cristo puede irse tranquilo, porque se han cumpli-do las Escrituras sobre él, y los discípulos comienzan a comprenderlo. Cristo puede irse tranquilo, no porque sus hombres sean unos héroes, sino porque su Espíritu los acompañará siempre y por doquier en su tarea evangelizadora. Puede irse tranquilo Jesucristo, porque los suyos, poseídos por el fuego del Espíritu, proclamarán el Evangelio de Dios, que es Jesucristo, a todos los pueblos, generación tras generación, hasta el confín de la tierra y hasta el fin de los tiempos La ascensión es un momento tan importante en el que Cristo les confía la misión que Él mismo ha recibido del Padre y ha comenzado en la tierra: “Como me envió mi Padre, así os envío yo” (Jn 20, 21), les dijo durante el primer encuentro después de la resurrección. En este momento se encuentra en Galilea, según lo que escribe san Marcos:” Los once discípulos se fueron a Galilea, al monte que Jesús les había indicado, y viéndole, se postraron, aunque algunos vacilaron, y, acercándose Jesús, les dijo: ‘Me ha sido dado todo poder en el cielo y en la tierra; id, pues; enseñad a todas las gentes, bautizándolas en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, enseñándoles a observar cuanto yo os he mandado. Yo estaré con vosotros siempre hasta la consumación del mundo'” (Mt 28, 16-20). Las palabras citadas contienen el así llamado mandato misionero. Los deberes que Cristo transmite a los Apóstoles definen al mismo tiempo la naturale-za misionera de la Iglesia. Esta verdad ha encontrado su expresión particularmente plena en la enseñanza del Concilio Vaticano II: “La Iglesia peregrinante es,

por naturaleza, misionera, puesto que toma su origen de la misión del Hijo y de la misión del Espíritu San-to, según el propósito de Dios Padre” (Ad gentes, 2). La Iglesia nacida de esta misión salvífica, se encuen-tra siempre “in statu missionis: en estado de misión”, y está siempre en camino. Esta condición refleja las fuerzas interiores de la fe y de la esperanza que animan a los Apóstoles, a los discípulos y a los confesores de Cristo Señor durante todos los siglos. En la Iglesia, donde cada uno de los fieles es un evangelizador, Cristo continúa eligiendo a los hombres que quiere “para que le acompañen y para enviarlos a predicar a las gentes” (Ad gentes, 23): de este modo la narración del envío de los Apóstoles se hace historia de la Iglesia desde la primera a la última hora.

¡Muchas Bendiciones!

Our Lady of the Presentation School would like to thank our Panther Partners for their generosity and support throughout our school year. Panther Partners provides an avenue for businesses, families and friends to donate to our school during the school year and receive recognition and marketing opportunities at our fundraising events, in the Lee’s Summit community and on our school grounds. These donations help our school provide advancements in technology, update textbooks, improve security, fund our Parent Teacher Organization, add new books in our library, purchase licensing for Advanced Reading and Math programs, and supplement teacher programs used in the classrooms. OLP also implemented the “I Am Noticed Program” and the TIPS reporting program this year.

Because of you, we are able to provide a quality education, rooted in our Catholic faith, with dedicated staff striving to meet the individual learning needs of all students. 480 students are able to learn in our National Blue Ribbon fully accredited school and consistently score well above the national and local averages on standardized tests. Annually, OLP students perform over 10,000 service hours in the school, parish and community. Our school’s commitment to service and giving of our gifts is evident in the money we donated to LS Social Services and Operation Breakthrough from Turkey Trot proceeds, reading to our ECC buddies, visiting John Knox Memory Care Unit & Little Sisters of the Poor and playing with the children at Operation Breakthrough. Through these activities we are instilling an attitude of service in our students and a commitment to give of our time and talent.

This past year our nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School was named in the KC Business Journal Top 25 Private Schools. For the fourth time, OLP was awarded the FIRE BALL Cup for supporting inclusive Catholic education in our school. We are honored to have received these recognitions for our efforts but are also very proud of the small successes and dedication of our staff that happens on a daily basis.

If you would like more information about how to become a Panther Partner visit our school website olplsschool.org/panther-partners or email pantherpartners@olplsschool.org
