Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
My Dear Parishioners,
I received this letter from Bishop Soto last week about my renewal
as Pastor at Presentation Parish and wanted to share it with you.
DIOCESE OF SACRAMENTO
2110 Broadway · Sacramento, CA 95818 · 916.733.0200
April 27, 2015
Rev. Jeremy P. Leatherby, Pastor
Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish
4123 Robertson Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95821
Dear Father Leatherby:
By this letter I renew your appointment as Pastor of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, Sacramento, effective July 1, 2015, with all the rights, duties and
jurisdictions of a Pastor. In compliance with the Priests Personnel Policy, the term
is for six years. During this coming term, I will rely on your understanding and fraternal cooperation should I need you in another pastoral assignment.
As recommended by the Council of Priests and in accordance with our Diocesan
Statute 148, a Parish Financial Operations Review will be done in every parish of
the Diocese every three years, as well as at the time of a change of pastor or renewal
of the term of pastor. A member of the Diocesan Finance Department will be in
contact with you to arrange for the operations review of Presentation of the Blessed
Virgin Mary Parish, Sacramento.
At this time of renewal, I express my gratitude for your ministry and commitment to
the people of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, Sacramento, for the
past six years. Be assured of my abiding prayers. May the intercession of our
Blessed Mother Mary help you and the faithful under your care grow together in the
image and likeness of her Son, Jesus.
Respectfully,
+Jaime Soto
Bishop of Sacramento
“No one has greater love
than this, to lay down
one’s life for one’s
friends.”
Most of us will probably
never be faced with the prospect of
sacrificing ourselves for another.
But actually we are called to do just
that every day. Every time we put
someone else’s wellbeing ahead of
our own, we are laying down our
lives for another. Every time we
respond to a baby’s call in the
night, every time we listen to a
friend’s tale of family tensions we
die to ourselves. Every time we volunteer for a charity or help a stranded traveler or give money to the
needy, we lay down our lives for
another.
This may be seen as ordinary run of
the mill behavior but then you
might be surprised to learn how
extraordinary it is. Such behavior is
the result of a choice, a choice for
love. Every time we do one of these
small things for someone else, we
love our brothers and sisters as Jesus loves us and we have chosen to
pay the cost.
The cost is the pain we feel for
those we love. The cost is giving up
our self pride and living only for
Christ. In this way the love of God,
His saving power, is revealed to all
the world through us, His Church.
Let us remember to follow Christ as
He taught us, and lay down our
lives daily in all the innumerable
small ways that we encounter from
day to day.

A special thank you to all Volunteer
Catechists & Volunteers for making the 2014-2015
Children’s Faith Formation Program a success…
Ms. Chantel Perez, Mrs. Kim Sweeny, Mrs. Lynette
Brannan, Mrs. Annette Cocker, Mrs. Rose Pineda, Mrs.
Karla Moore, Mr. Michael Ervin, Deacon Dave Leatherby,
and last but not least. Mrs. Debbie Davidson.
Children’s Faith Formation exists because of volunteers like these.
Many people have said that what drew
them to the Catholic Church was the Eucharist.
As we reflect on recognizing Jesus in the Breaking of the
Bread, think for a moment whether there is someone you
could invite to Mass and to explore what else the
Catholic faith might hold for them.
For more information, contact Sid Curry.
