Hello! My name is Brian Carson, and I am the new Director of Music at Nativity of Our Lord.

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.

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

Last week we sent home a letter to each of our registered parishioner households explaining our new Sunday Mass schedule. If you haven't received one yet, please let us know!

In order to accommodate increasing congregational sizes, we are adding an additional weekly Sunday morning Mass at 7:30am, and moving our current weekly 8:15am Sunday Mass to 9am.

I am pleased to announce that we will return to limited public Mass here at Nativity of Our Lord beginning on Wednesday, June 3. Sign-ups open Monday at 9am.

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.

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.

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

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!

Fr. Patrick thanks parishioners for their perseverance through weather and transportation challenges. He also announces some changes in volunteer and staff leadership.

Beginning Monday, June 25 and continuing through Friday, August 28, the upper church will be closed for maintenance. The church maintenance project will include pew restoration, hardwood floor stripping and staining, and lighting updates.
