Fr. Patrick begins a series of updates post-reopening as something of a state of the parish over the next month or so with a brief financial update.

Watching a video stream of Mass is new to most of us. We've compiled some helpful instructions and advice, including a video from Fr. Nick, and info-graphic from the Archdiocese, a free liturgy guide from Magnificat, and more.

The priests of Nativity sent a pastoral letter to all households to assure them of their prayers and support, update them on the state of operations, and inform them on how to stay connected and make the most of this time.

The 8:15am daily Mass will be celebrated downstairs to Steiner Hall to accommodate the construction work in the main church sanctuary.

I am asking all parishioners to make a financial commitment to support the work of the many ministries that are funded by the CSAF that no one parish can support on its own.

Water intrusions primarily on the east side of the church require a construction project, including tuckpointing mortar joints and otherwise reinforcing external walls, to begin in the spring of 2020.

This week, registered parishioners received in the mail our annual financial report and mission update, both of which speak to God’s blessings here at Nativity of Our Lord and the generous response of our parishioners to his goodness. 

Fr. Patrick previews the upcoming Stewardship Weekend, thanks and honors the Nativity County Fair leadership, and briefly recaps the open parish discussions.

Fr. Patrick passes on the Archbishop's re-invitation to contribute to the Catholic Services Appeal in support essential ministries in our local Church.

How can we respond to God’s many blessings by gratefully returning our gifts to him?

Here at Nativity, November is a time of stewardship renewal, and I ask you to consider the theme, “Grateful and Generous.”

Please consider making a supplemental gift to Nativity (in addition to your stewardship giving) in honor of Christ’s birth.

With Stewardship Sunday a week away, Fr. Patrick invites us to reflect upon Psalm 116:12: “What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?”
