We will officially expand our Adoration hours on the first Monday of Advent, December 4. Thank you to all who volunteered to make this possible!

The contractor restoring our beloved, historic stained glass windows that the last remaining set has unfortunately been delayed, and we are now not anticipating the final set of windows to be reinstalled until the end of this year at the earliest. (This blog-style post will be updated with new developments.)

The Twin Cities Marathon may affect your route to church this weekend, as parts of Summit Avenue will be closed Saturday and Sunday.

Have fun meeting and working with new friends, and singing the great music of the Church every four or five weeks at the Saturday 5pm Mass. Any boy or girl from 3rd-8th grade may join.

We have a new vacant hour in need of a weekly committed adorer on Fridays from 8:00-9:00PM. Can you help?

You may have been involved with the Synod over the last three years, or you may not have heard much about it. Here’s an update on where we’ve been, and where we are going.

To support this initiative, we would like to identify those with the experience or the gifts needed to lead small groups starting in Lent and invite them to a training series to be held this fall.

Fr. Rolf offers a fuller introduction as he takes over pastoral leadership of Nativity of Our Lord

I would like to offer my heartfelt gratitude as I step down this week from my role as pastor of Nativity of Our Lord after over 15 years together. It has been my great honor to help lead the parishioners and students of Nativity to follow Our Lord ever closer.

Children's Liturgy has been suspended for the summer. See you in the fall!

As always, any baptized Catholic who is seriously ill is encouraged to contact us to receive this sacrament as soon as possible, and if anticipating major surgery to make an appointment prior.

We wish to extend the warmest of welcomes to our newest adult members of the Catholic faith and of Nativity of Our Lord! Read their personal statements of their faith journeys through our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program. Many thanks to all for your support and prayers for our newest members!

Praised be Jesus Christ!  My name is Father Rolf Tollefson and I am blessed to have been assigned as the new Pastor of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church and School!  It will be a great privilege to serve you.

Last weekend, I announced at the Nativity of Our Lord Night to Shine Spring Gala (as well as at each of the Lord’s Day Masses) that Archbishop Hebda has named Fr. Rolf Tollefson as my successor as pastor of Nativity of Our Lord, effective July 1.

Steiner Hall is now outfitted for livestream capabilities, so once again all morning Masses (plus 5pm Saturday) are livestreamed on our website.

Adoration will be suspended today through Friday, and the parish office will be closed Thursday and Friday due to inclement weather.

Please help us welcome our newest parish staff member, John Paul Beane, who begins work immediately on a part-time basis coordinating our liturgy schedules, utilizing the Ministry Scheduler Pro software.

The historical reality of Jesus Christ Our Lord is particularly fitting to reflect upon as we celebrate the historic milestone of 100 years of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. 

Do you want to make a positive difference in the faith formation of our K-2 children? Please consider joining a team of adults who offer the Children’s Liturgy of the Word during the 9:00 AM Sunday Mass.

Fr. Patrick gives thanks for a year full of blessings, reflects on the 2nd Sunday of Advent, and invites parishioners to pledge their support for the new year.
