A retirement fund is being established for Fr. Patrick as he prepares for the move to his future home at the Byrne Residence on June 30.

The project has been humming along quite nicely, and I would like to thank all of our professional contractors for their fine work, as well as the Friday afternoon volunteers. (This blog-style post will be updated with new developments.)

We wish to extend the warmest of welcomes to our newest adult members of the Catholic faith and of Nativity of Our Lord! Read their personal statements of their faith journeys through our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program. Many thanks to all for your support and prayers for our newest members!

Prizes this year are $500, $200, and $100 monthly from May through October! Tickets are arriving by mail and can be returned through the parish office or Sunday collection basket.

Praised be Jesus Christ!  My name is Father Rolf Tollefson and I am blessed to have been assigned as the new Pastor of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church and School!  It will be a great privilege to serve you.

Last weekend, I announced at the Nativity of Our Lord Night to Shine Spring Gala (as well as at each of the Lord’s Day Masses) that Archbishop Hebda has named Fr. Rolf Tollefson as my successor as pastor of Nativity of Our Lord, effective July 1.

Year one of the Synod Implementation is beginning at Nativity of Our Lord! This group of twelve parishioners' first task will be to recruit and train small group leaders for parish-wide ongoing small groups that will begin next Lent. 

My name is Beth Giese and I am the new Director of Advancement at Nativity of Our Lord. I am deeply honored to be joining the Nativity family in service to the parish and school. 

It’s time to celebrate! Click the campaign logo for the big news on our Centennial Campaign progress. Heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of Nativity families who have supported our Centennial Campaign so far!

Adoration will be suspended today through Friday, and the parish office will be closed Thursday and Friday due to inclement weather.

If you have a special connection who can help create an amazing experience package, a talent you’d be willing to share as a service donation, or if you have an item you’d like to donate, please let us know!

Archbishop Bernard Hebda has accepted my request to be granted the status of retired priest, effective July 1 of this year.

Please help us welcome our newest parish staff member, John Paul Beane, who begins work immediately on a part-time basis coordinating our liturgy schedules, utilizing the Ministry Scheduler Pro software.

Karen and the other St. John Paul II Champions for Life award recipients will be honored at the Respect Life Mass on Sunday, January 22 at the Cathedral of St. Paul.

The historical reality of Jesus Christ Our Lord is particularly fitting to reflect upon as we celebrate the historic milestone of 100 years of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. 

As the calendar year nears its end, please fulfill your 2022 stewardship commitment and consider a special Christmas and/or year-end gift.

Do you want to make a positive difference in the faith formation of our K-2 children? Please consider joining a team of adults who offer the Children’s Liturgy of the Word during the 9:00 AM Sunday Mass.

The Nativity of Our Lord Centennial Campaign is upon us and we are looking for champions of our parish and school to assist with this important initiative, Built on Tradition with Hope for the Future!

Fr. Patrick gives thanks for a year full of blessings, reflects on the 2nd Sunday of Advent, and invites parishioners to pledge their support for the new year.

After three years of listening, preparation, and engagement with laity, consecrated women and men, and clergy across the archdiocese, Archbishop Hebda has released his pastoral letter.
