Outdoor Communion moved to 4:00 PM, 2020 Christmas Liturgy plans, and an Adoration schedule change with commitments needed.

To help us maintain appropriate safety measures, we will require reservations for Christmas Mass attendance. Reservations will open on Monday, December 7 at 9:00 AM — first come, first served.

Beginning next week, we will return to an Adoration schedule requiring hourly commitments to better ensure continuous coverage. This will necessitate a restricted Adoration schedule as we build up commitments. Please sign up today!

Pay your dues by November 1 and your name will be put in a special drawing for a turkey and a P.J. Murphy pie — delivered to your home just in time for Thanksgiving!

While I would much rather preferred to have been enjoying fair food and games along with all of you, this year’s event offered me a unique and blessed perspective.

The 5pm Mass will re-open to the public and Communion returns to its normal time during Mass (on a trial basis), both beginning Saturday, September 26. Plus, the Nativity Choir plans a return.

Beginning Monday, 9/14, we will open at 8:30 AM, close at 4:30 PM, and close for lunch from 12:00-1:00 PM, Monday-Thursday. Friday will be 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM.

This online-only sale has re-opened for two weeks!

Some of us are receiving an email(s) from ldriscoll@nativity-mn.org (an old Nativity email account) that is not legitimate and is potentially harmful.

Arriving this week in your email inboxes (perhaps already!) is the current data set we have for you and your family. Please respond via the link in the email by Tuesday, September 1 to verify and update your information so that we can better serve you.
