First Friday Holy Hours 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the church
Sponsored by New Life at Nativity
"Every one of us, when he/she pauses in silence, needs to feel not only his/her own heartbeat, but deeper still, the beating of a trustworthy presence, perceptible with faith's senses and yet much more real: the presence of Christ, the heart of the world." ~Pope Benedict XVI
Join us each month as we gather to spend time in prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, exposed on the altar. Each Holy Hour will also be livestreamed on our website at www.nativitystpaul.org for those who are unable to join us in person. Confessions may be available, but not guaranteed. Holy Hours will provide opportunities for a short reflective talk, communal and silent prayer. We encourage you to bring your own Bible and paper/pen for personal refection. Social distancing of 6 feet between house holds and masks will be required.

What is New Life?
New Life is a group of individuals and families who desire to live the Nativity mission intentionally as a community of missionary disciples. In this we seek to integrate three of Christ's universal calls:
to love one another
to make disciples
to pursue holiness
By encountering Jesus together in these pursuits we hope to manifest his new life more fully in ourselves and in others.
We meet twice monthly online or in-person in large and small groups for prayer and study, shared life, and outreach.
