Pick up a prayer card at the doors of church and join us in praying for our catechists who will be teaching our children in Faith Formation this year.

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.

We are now taking signups for Adoration hours from 9am-3pm on Wednesdays, and will offer Adoration throughout those times as soon as we have each of the six hours covered with commitments.

Julia Waters (class of '13) was inspired by missionaries to boldly live her faith and has heard the Lord inviting her to bring him to more students as a missionary herself.

We are now able to officially expand our Adoration hours on Tuesday nights (10pm-12am), Wednesday mornings (12am-8am), and Wednesday afternoons (3pm-5:30pm).

With the end of the emergency mask orders in Minnesota and St. Paul, masks will no longer be required in the church. We have also now removed seating restrictions, to allow for more natural spacing.

Tuesday and Friday 5pm Masses to return, with Confessions beforehand; Distancing requirements removed; Adoration to move to chapel, expand overnight Tuesday into Wednesday afternoon, pending commitments

We have a new vacant hour in need of a weekly committed adorer on Fridays from 2:00-3:00 PM.

The city of St. Paul has declared a Snow Emergency beginning at 9:00 PM tonight.

Beginning next week, we will return to an Adoration schedule requiring hourly commitments to better ensure continuous coverage. This will necessitate a restricted Adoration schedule as we build up commitments. Please sign up today!

The pastor has delegated all parishioners and visitors the permission to expose and repose the Blessed Sacrament, if necessary.

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.

As a sign of unity, Archbishop Hebda asks that all of us — especially students — to pray the “Litany in Time of Need” each day at 11:00 AM for protection and help.

Our pastor, Fr. Patrick Hipwell, explains the difficult decision to suspend public Masses and Confessions and offers other updates on the parish's coronavirus response plan.

Adoration has been moved to the main church and will be restricted to 9am-10pm Sunday-Friday and 9am-4pm on Saturday. 

In the interest of the safety of our penitents and priests alike, we have suspended Confessions, effective immediately.

Fr. Patrick Hipwell, Fr. Nick Hagen, and the parish staff would like to distribute a Christmas card at Christmas Mass this year, and we need your help!

Please join me in entering into this joyful, hopeful, and yes also penitential season of Advent here at Nativity of Our Lord! 

We thank God for all those who work to keep our country free by their generous service. Please include our parishioners and their family members in the military in your prayers.
