Presentation Center Was Closed June 30,
2017
With deep sadness, we, the Board of Directors of Presentation
Center, announce to you our decision to close Presentation
Center on June 30, 2017. This decision has been reached after
consultation with advisors and other significant persons,
consideration of various options, and earnest prayer to the Holy
Spirit.
Presentation Center, a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of the
Presentation, has been blessed for more than sixty years by so
many loyal supporters including donors, staff, volunteers,
sisters, and of course, their current employees who have
believed in this ministry and have been true to its mission.
In the beautiful surroundings of Presentation Center, thousands
of guests have been welcomed and experienced God’s presence and
renewal through the hospitality extended by the staff, the quiet
nurturing of their bodies and souls afforded by the natural
setting, and enriching experience of new relationships.

Bidding a Fond
Farewell to Presentation Center
By Rachel Foote,
Archivist
On
July 9, 2017 Sisters of the Presentation, San Francisco, their
Associates, former sisters, friends, and family gathered in Los
Gatos, California to bid a fond farewell to and celebrate the
legacy of Presentation Center. As the crowds assembled first for
the mass and later for the tour and reception, memories rushed
in and stories flowed out as guests caught up with each other
and introduced new friends and family to the beloved ministry
that has played an integral role in their lives over the past 60
years. As they made their way from the parking areas to the main
Pueblo Building, which had originally been the Novitiate and now
served as the main hub for the conference and retreat center,
accounts of the Center’s well-known history filled the walkways.

Learning and
Loving Education Center, Morgan Hill
Established in 1994, the Learning and Loving Education Center
was founded as a response to the need in the Morgan Hill
community to empower immigrant women to learn English and
encourage women to use their gifts and talents in building
relationships among themselves, their families, and the
community. (Morgan Hill is a city south of San Jose that is
still agricultural but which is also now experiencing a house
boom and becoming a bedroom community for the Silicon Valley)
The Center endeavors to work with women for change through
education, and to support them in the process. Daytime classes
strive to increase literacy, teach computer skills, improve and
enrich the lives of the students empower women to achieve higher
education and better jobs, improve health care, and improve
self-esteem for a brighter future for themselves, their
families, and their communities.

Presentation High School, San Jose
The roots of Presentation High School are deeply planted in the heritage
and ministry of the Sisters of the Presentation. Strengthened and
challenged by that heritage and dedicated to the ministry of secondary
education, the Sisters of the Presentation responded to the needs of the
rapidly growing and developing Santa Clara Valley. In 1962, Presentation
High School, a Catholic four year high school for young women, was
opened. Built in the Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose, the first
seventy students graduated in 1966. Since then, over 4,000 young women
have benefited from the excellent education provided at Presentation
High School and they have become productive, vital, and ethical members
of their communities, work places, and families.
