Formation for Life

Who we are

Presentation Ministries is a lay Catholic apostolate (under the authority of the Catholic Church) answering the Church's call for every believer to live a holy life and share the Gospel in everyday life. Through Scripture, the Eucharist, and home-based communities, we help ordinary Catholics become confident disciples for their entire lives who pray deeply, love generously, and grow in faith together. Run entirely by volunteers, we exist to equip you, whatever state of life you are in, to renew the Church and transform the world, right where you are.

Our Mission

Our mission is to evangelize the world by equipping Christians to grow in discipleship through home-based communities, like those of the early Christians.

What God Has Waiting for You...

Home-based Communities

Home-Based Communities bring young adults together regularly for prayer, meaningful conversation, shared meals, and genuine friendship. It’s a place to grow in your faith, find support, and live Catholic life alongside people who truly know you.

Lifelong Family & Young Adult Discipleship

Daily Mass Movement

Fr. Al Lauer believed the greatest gift we could receive each day was Jesus Himself in the Eucharist. So he taught on the daily Mass readings and encouraged everyone to receive Jesus in Holy Communion as often as they could. What started as a simple invitation grew into something bigger: Catholics rediscovering the daily Mass as the center of their lives. Through One Bread, One Body, Daily Bread, and our home-based communities, that invitation continues today. Come to the table. He's waiting for you every day.

Come to a home-based community event where we start the night at 6 pm, catching up with each other. Around 7 pm, we will have a teaching on "How to Raise a Holy Family", intentionally pray the rosary, and end with swing dancing and some fall apple cider.
