| Nativity
of Our Lord Catholic Church is a vibrant, faith-filled community
located in the heart of St. Paul's Macalester-Groveland neighborhood.
Founded more than 80 years ago, our parish has a rich history
of ministry, worship and service.
Today, Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church is home to more
than 1900 families, many of whom have worshipped and learned
as part of the Nativity community for generations. While these
parish families represent a strong, continuous thread in our
parish history, new individuals and families are welcomed
and encouraged to join our parish community as we serve the
Lord through worship and prayer, service to others and social
activities.
Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church thrives on three pillars
of faith: Celebration of the Sacraments, devotion to the Blessed
Virgin Mary and a commitment to a sound, faith-based education
rooted in traditional Catholic teachings.
Our parish includes a large, highly-regarded school with approximately
800 students, an Early Learning Center serving more than 200
families, a variety of adult education and faith formation
opportunities and a pervasive spirit of volunteerism.
Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church is considered one of
the architectural gems of the Archdiocese. Featuring traditional
Gothic architecture including a high, vaulted ceiling, intricately
detailed Sanctuary, striking jewel-toned windows and intimate
side altars, the structure offers the perfect setting for
worshipping the Lord and celebrating our Catholic faith.
Our parish community adheres to traditional Catholic practices
and is known for its rich liturgical celebrations and devotion
to the Sacraments, particularly the Eucharist. The Blessed
Sacrament receives special reverence through our Perpetual
Adoration program initiated more than a decade ago.
We hope that you find
a home at Nativity and take the time to enter fully into the
many facets of this faith community. This web site offers
access to information on the parish's many facets and opportunities
to become an active member of the Nativity of Our Lord parish
community. Follow the Spirit's urging to explore your faith,
expand your personal spirituality and meet new people involved
in building God's kingdom here on earth. |
