According to the current issue of "Catholic New York", of the 24 Life Chains scheduled for Respect Life Sunday (Oct 2) in the Archdiocese of New York, eight were located in Ulster County. Of the seven parishes sponsoring these eight chains, only Presentation-Sacred Heart Parish sponsored more than one Life Chain. Each church, Presentation at Port Ewen and Sacred Heart at Esopus, held a Life Chain from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. which together rallied 62 peaceful and prayerful witnesses for the prolife cause along Rte. 9W. Thanks to the local Bruderhof for sending us some participants.

More than 50 persons, including some youths, enjoyed the Day of Recollection, "Christ: the Divine Physician", given by Fr. Thomas DeSimone (St. Mary-St. Andrew, Ellenville) at Presentation. The event concluded with a Holy Hour atop the outdoor altar of Our Lady of the Hudson amidst the beauty of the Hudson Valley.
