Families whose children have graduated or are otherwise no longer attending the Early Learning Center are asked to return their NELC key fobs to the parish office.

We have a new vacant hour in need of a weekly committed adorer on Fridays from 12:00-1:00 PM.

I wish to provide you with a brief update from our Nativity of Our Lord Facilities Committee regarding the ongoing internal restoration work of our beloved, almost 100-year-old parish church.

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. 

Beware of reports of a theft, and another attempted theft, of a catalytic converter, as well as strangers attempting to open the doors of parked car doors in the past few months.

Congratulations to parishioner and now-Reverend Mr. John Rumpza and the now-Reverend Mr. Will Kratt, our teaching parish seminarian, for their ordinations to the Transitional Diaconate!

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

Any boy K-5th grade can join the Pack in time to participate in the annual Pinewood Derby at the end of March. Any boy 5th grade or older can join the Troop.

We currently need new volunteers for the following rosters, for both weekday and Lord’s Day Masses: Greeters, Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Ushers. Can you help?

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

Lent is perhaps our greatest annual opportunity to make a concerted effort to turn back to the Lord. Whether we are walking closely with him or have strayed far away, all of us are invited to turn again from our sins and earthly attachments and seek him ever more fervently.

The Blessed Sacrament will be reposed beginning with Mass today at 5:00 PM through 3:00 PM tomorrow due to inclement weather.

Our Director of Liturgy and Music, Patrick Henning, has decided to step down from his position to pursue other opportunities.

We are seeking a faith-filled, experienced, results-oriented development leader to establish and lead a comprehensive development program to support the parish and school community in a full-time, salaried role. Competitive compensation offered, commensurate with experience.

Fraudulent texts and emails claiming to come from "Fr. Patrick Hipwell" are again being delivered to parishioners with the intent to confuse, manipulate, and steal.

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.

Fr. Patrick congratulates his brother priest Fr. Joseph Williams, for his appointment by Pope Francis to be a new bishop to assist Archbishop Bernard Hebda.

Nativity of Our Lord, celebrating 100 years in 2022, has proclaimed the historical event and theological reality of Christ's birth for a century, thanks be to God.

As the calendar year nears its end, please fulfill your 2021 stewardship commitment and/or consider a special year-end gift.
