SVdP needs volunteers to make weather-proof canvas toiletry bags for homeless people. All ages can help cut, mark, and/or sew the bags!

Volunteers are needed to lead Word and Communion Services monthly at the Alton and Wellington homes in the area, as well as to deliver Communion to our homebound parishioners weekly.

Please consider joining the Friends of Dorothy Day in serving dinner to residents of the St. Paul Higher Ground shelter, located within the Catholic Charities campus downtown. 

Nancy Shatek-Suek has resigned her position as Pastoral Care Coordinator at Nativity of Our Lord after 16 years of faithful service. 

Eucharistic Ministers are no longer required to wear masks when distributing Communion. The priest celebrant will continue to wear a mask during Communion.

Deacon Don Tienter will preach all Masses this weekend to share the work of our society, and there will be a second collection at each. Please be generous so we can continue our help to the poor in 2022.

Any burden that is laying on your heart will be lifted up daily in prayer by nearly 30 faithful members on our prayer team in a confidential manner.

They are stepping down after almost three decades of generous dedication to Loaves and Fishes, and we now need two Team Leads to carry on their good work.

Catholic Cemeteries is offering a new program now through October 2, in which they will inter the cremated remains that people may have at home or stored somewhere, for a nominal fee of $200 per urn.

Fr. Patrick Hipwell, Pastor of Nativity of Our Lord, addresses the parish on the tragic, unjust death of George Floyd

The priests and parish leadership of Nativity of Our Lord are currently in ongoing discussions on when and how to re-open our liturgies to public assembly as soon as is possible in a safe and healthy way.

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.

Due to increased concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus, we will be indefinitely suspending the sign of peace at all Masses.

We, the priests and principals of the Nativity community, want to look directly at some painful sores that cover the suffering members of the universal Church, choosing not to ignore them, but treat them in openness and shared purpose.

Need a place to go for a hot or cold meal on the day of Thanksgiving? Or want to help others in need?
