“Fear not, I am with you; be not dismayed; I am your God. I will strengthen you, and help you, and uphold you with my right hand of justice.”

— Isaiah 41:10

Lenten Greetings!

As you read in the From The Hip column last weekend, we are all realizing just how extraordinary times these are, but we want you to know that Nativity of Our Lord is here for you.

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.

For your soul, we are live streaming and recording Masses at 8:15am Sunday-Saturday, as well as a Saturday 5pm vigil Mass for the Lord’s Day with music and a downloadable worship aid.

You can stay connected here at our parish website, where you can find prayer opportunities, online giving, news from the Archbishop and the Office of Worship, and many other resources.

We realize that not everyone has a computer or a smart phone, so below you will find radio and TV Mass times.

Relevant Radio, 1330 AM

Sunday Mass is at 9am.
Daily Mass is at 12pm.

Sunday Mass is at 11am on KSTC-TV/45.

EWTN (Comcast cable ch. 291):
- Daily Mass is at 7am, 11am, 6pm, and 11pm and is rebroadcast on channels 14.2, 14.4, and 14.5.

For your body and mind, please let us know if you are in need of assistance at this time, including running errands. We encourage you not to be afraid to ask even for the simplest items, including toilet paper!

Also, if you don’t have family or friends who check in on you or would like a regular call from Nativity, please let us know. Remember that you are not alone! Jesus is so close to the ones who are suffering.

You can contact us in two ways specifically devoted to this time. Nativity staff will be regularly monitoring both of these:

Call us at (651) 317-9685, or
Email us at united@nativity-mn.org.

We have volunteers calling us wanting to assist us in these times, so please don’t hesitate to contact us. Most of all, be assured of our prayers and support for you. Please let us know how we can be of service, or if you have ideas how we can better serve our parishioners.

Finally, please join us in the following prayer from the Archdiocese’s Office of Worship:

May the sick be granted a swift recovery, the medical personnel receive the support they need, and those grieving the loss of loved ones be sustained by the hope of eternal life and the care of the Church. Amen!

May God bless you and your families abundantly!

In Christ’s Love,
The Nativity of Our Lord Pastoral Staff
