Parish Leadership

Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church benefits from the insight and dedication of dozens of parishioners who have accepted leadership roles in our parish community. Our pastor reports to Archbishop John Neinstedt and is the ultimate decision-maker for the parish. He relies on the collective wisdom of five leadership boards for insight into and parishioners' views on the key issues, opportunities and challenges facing our parish and school communities.
