Children's Liturgy has been suspended for the summer. See you in the fall!

As always, any baptized Catholic who is seriously ill is encouraged to contact us to receive this sacrament as soon as possible, and if anticipating major surgery to make an appointment prior.

We have a new vacant hour in need of a weekly committed adorer on Fridays from 9:00-10:00 AM. Can you help?

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!

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.

Steiner Hall is now outfitted for livestream capabilities, so once again all morning Masses (plus 5pm Saturday) are livestreamed on our website.

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

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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

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. 

Now is the perfect time to join, because we have several rehearsals, beginning September 14, before we begin singing at the 11:00 AM Mass.

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

Volunteers are needed to lead Word and Communion Services monthly at the Alton and Wellington homes in the area, as well as to deliver Communion to our homebound parishioners weekly.

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.

Archbishop Hebda is asking all Catholics to pray in preparation for the upcoming Synod Assembly on Pentecost weekend -- click here for more information as well as the Holy Spirit Novena prayers.
