Each year, the Catholic Church in the United States designates this third Sunday in September as Catechetical Sunday. It is a day to celebrate and pray for the Church’s mission to teach the Gospel to all people. 

We need volunteer Catechists and RCIA Sponsors for the 2022-23 Faith Formation year. ​​​​​​​Can you help?

We are excited about this upcoming year! Our theme for students entering grades 1-8 this fall is, “Remain in me, as I also remain in you.” Have you signed up yet?

Anyone wanting to be Confirmed (currently starting 7th grade) or receive First Holy Communion (2nd grade) must be registered by September 21.

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.

Parishioners who love to share their faith in Christ and his Church are needed to teach our faith formation students. We are also looking for teen volunteers to serve as assistants to the catechists.

RCIA is the process by which persons who were never baptized, or were baptized in another Christian tradition, become members of the Church, a people on pilgrimage to our Heavenly Father.

I am Mahalia Marcelin, a servant of the Lord, serving as your Director of Faith Formation. It is an honor to serve Christ with you at Nativity of Our Lord.

Our Director of Faith Formation, Katie Schaitberger, has decided to step down from her position, as she has accepted another position in ministry elsewhere.

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.

I have a great passion for evangelization and meeting people where they are at in their faith journey. I look forward to meeting you!

I’m proud to officially announce the hiring of our new Director of Faith Formation, Katie Schaitberger.

It has been my personal pleasure to work with Randy for the past decade or so as he has led some of the most important parts of our mission here at Nativity.

A word of gratitude to our very generous parishioners for their weekly volunteer service in our Faith Formation programs this school year.

“It’s God’s work. I’m just a pencil in God’s Hand.” Our 1st grade Faith Formation catechist shares her story of how God called her to teach Nativity's young people, and invites other parishioners to consider helping.
