Welcome to The Church of the Presentation
of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Set as a beacon on a hill to surrounding Maplewood and the east side of St. Paul, the Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been a center of Catholic faith and life since 1946. Our parish continues to be a vibrant place of worship, education, and outreach to the community. We welcome you to join us as we celebrate God’s many gifts and strive to bring the gospel message of Jesus Christ to the world around us.

Bid Farewell to Fr. Benny
Saturday, June 24, 2017
6:00 – 8:00 pm in Kenney Hall

Join us for an open house Saturday, June 24th, 6:00-8:00 pm in Kenney Hall to honor Fr. Benny’s contribution to the Presentation community. Please join us in coming together as a parish to thank him and celebrate his 3 years and 6 months as our Pastor! Hamburgers, hot dogs, and refreshments provided. In lieu of personal gifts, please make a commitment of time in our Perpetual Adoration Chapel, or perhaps consider sponsoring one of these two areas: a one-time gift to CFIC Children’s Mission, or a longer commitment to sponsor a CFIC Seminarian. These three initiatives are very near and dear to Fr. Benny’s heart. Information and opportunities to offer your support will be available at the Open House.
