After three years of listening, preparation, and engagement with laity, consecrated women and men, and clergy across the archdiocese, Archbishop Hebda has released his pastoral letter.

As we celebrate our centennial anniversary, we embark on our Centennial Campaign: Built on Tradition with Hope for the Future to restore our historic church and strengthen resources to ensure Nativity will remain a shining light for future generations.

Thank you to the nearly 300 families that participated in our recent campaign planning study. Based on the study’s positive results, parish and school leaders voted unanimously to move forward with a capital campaign.

It was my great honor and joy as pastor of this great, historic parish to help commemorate this grand jubilee on the 100th anniversary of Nativity of Our Lord at Mass with Archbishop Hebda and at the party afterwards under the big tent in the parking lot.

Thank you to all who participated and congratulations to the winners! $5,000: Dan Ryan; $500: Krista Doran; $300: Danielle Anderson
