Nativity's Next Parochial Vicar: Father Jason Asselin

Archbishop Hebda has appointed Fr. Jason Asselin to serve the parishioners and school families o f Nativity Parish beginning July 1st, 2026. Fr. Asselin requested a move to the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis from the Archdiocese of Fargo, where he hopes to incardinate, formally join our Archdiocese. He is exploring joining the Companions o f Christ priests, who are well-established in our Archdiocese. The Companions of Christ live in community - the closest house being at Holy Spirit in St. Paul just down the street from us. This is where he will reside while serving as Parochial Vicar at Nativity. He enjoys outdoor activities, especially biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing. He will share more about his ministry and himself when he arrives in St. Paul this summer. Until then, please keep Fr. Asselin in your prayers as he prepares for his new assignment here at Nativity.
