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.

We have a new vacant hour in need of a weekly committed adorer on Fridays from 6:00-7:00 PM. (We have filled Tuesdays at 11:00 PM. Thank you!)

Construction crews will be moving into the nave to begin repairing the interior damage. Beginning Monday, Daily Masses (Monday-Friday) will move downstairs to Steiner Hall temporarily (and won't be livestreamed), and some of the entrances will be closed as needed.

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.

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!

The readings for the celebration of Easter talk a lot about death, at least for a day when we are celebrating the opposite. But that’s for good reason: without Christ’s death, there would be no resurrection — not for him, and not for us.

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.

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

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.
