The fact that you even ask the question tells me that you don't understand what is going on. The "preliminary" hearing will also be the final hearing where the court permits the foreclosure on your house, unless you file a timely objection countering the moving party's motion.

Are you opposing the motion? Do you have an attorney? If you're not opposing the motion, then there's no reason to go to the hearing. If you are opposing the motion, then you are required to file your opposition in the time period stated on the Notice and then either you or your counsel must appear at the hearing.
