An Easter message from our pastor, Fr. Patrick Hipwell

The priests of Nativity sent a pastoral letter to all households to assure them of their prayers and support, update them on the state of operations, and inform them on how to stay connected and make the most of this time.

We have assembled a group of staff who are formulating a plan to reach out to Nativity’s households. We want to assist you in meeting your holistic needs of body, mind, and soul, however necessary.

As a sign of unity, Archbishop Hebda asks that all of us — especially students — to pray the “Litany in Time of Need” each day at 11:00 AM for protection and help.

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.

Adoration has been moved to the main church and will be restricted to 9am-10pm Sunday-Friday and 9am-4pm on Saturday. 

Following Archdiocesan directives, there will be no public Masses at Nativity after Wednesday, 3/18 for at least two weeks. We have also suspended Confessions.

The 8:15am daily Mass will be celebrated downstairs to Steiner Hall to accommodate the construction work in the main church sanctuary.

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

I am asking all parishioners to make a financial commitment to support the work of the many ministries that are funded by the CSAF that no one parish can support on its own.

The results will be highly informative as we continue to identify opportunities to support parishioner growth in discipleship, and articulate goals and action plans to achieve that growth.
