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

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.

Do you have an hour per month to volunteer at the 9:30am Mass?

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.

On the occasion of his retirement, Communications Director Isaac Huss asked Faith Formation Director Randy Mueller to reflect upon his time at Nativity of Our Lord.

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

Please pray for our 16 catechumens and candidates as they seek deeper conversion to Christ and his Church, and may their collective enthusiasm and desire for the sacraments encourage us all.

Have you or someone you know benefited from free FORMED access? We want to hear all about it!

The city of St. Paul has declared another Snow Emergency, and otherwise restricted parking through April 1.

May your Lenten journey be blessed with healing and a deeper relationship with Christ.

It is the beautiful task of Advent to prepare our hearts for Jesus' birth, and prepare to joyfully and fully welcome Him into lives.

Do you or someone you know desire to become a Catholic or learn more about the process?  Nativity’s RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) program begins on September 11.

“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.

Four college students (two women and two men) excited about sharing their faith are coming to Nativity of Our Lord June 25-29, 2018! Learn more about them.

Nativity has partnered with FORMED, a digital platform offered by the St. Augustine Institute that will give each one of us unlimited access to study programs, feature films, audio presentations, and eBooks.

We would like to extend our congratulations to our Baptized, Confirmed, and Newly Professed Adult Catholics who were received into the Church during our Easter Vigil celebration.
