As the calendar year nears its end, please fulfill your 2022 stewardship commitment and consider a special Christmas and/or year-end gift.

The Nativity of Our Lord Centennial Campaign is upon us and we are looking for champions of our parish and school to assist with this important initiative, Built on Tradition with Hope for the Future!

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.

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.

As we prepare to celebrate our centennial, we must also look to build upon our rich history, both now and into the future. As such, we've now launched a fundraising campaign planning study.

I wish to provide you with a brief update from our Nativity of Our Lord Facilities Committee regarding the ongoing internal restoration work of our beloved, almost 100-year-old parish church.

Our annual Stewardship Sunday is grounded firmly in a deep sense of gratitude. I invite you again to reflect on the abundant gifts that God has given us, remembering that the gifts that we have been given were meant to be shared.

Plus: The offertory collection returns to Mass, and an invitation to give to the CSAF.

Fr. Patrick introduces the 2021 Catholic Services Appeal and offers congratulations to our 2nd graders.

I invite you to take some time this to pray and reflect and ask Jesus, through the intercession of his mother, what he wishes to tell you, in preparation for Stewardship Sunday.

We're excited to again host a NET Missionary Team beginning Sunday, September 27! Can you help? Prepared meals or gift cards (or cash!) welcomed.

Fr. Patrick begins a series of updates post-reopening as something of a state of the parish over the next month or so with a brief financial update.

Watching a video stream of Mass is new to most of us. We've compiled some helpful instructions and advice, including a video from Fr. Nick, and info-graphic from the Archdiocese, a free liturgy guide from Magnificat, and more.

The priests of Nativity sent a pastoral letter to all households to assure them of their prayers and support, update them on the state of operations, and inform them on how to stay connected and make the most of this time.

The 8:15am daily Mass will be celebrated downstairs to Steiner Hall to accommodate the construction work in the main church sanctuary.

I am asking all parishioners to make a financial commitment to support the work of the many ministries that are funded by the CSAF that no one parish can support on its own.

Water intrusions primarily on the east side of the church require a construction project, including tuckpointing mortar joints and otherwise reinforcing external walls, to begin in the spring of 2020.

This week, registered parishioners received in the mail our annual financial report and mission update, both of which speak to God’s blessings here at Nativity of Our Lord and the generous response of our parishioners to his goodness. 

Fr. Patrick previews the upcoming Stewardship Weekend, thanks and honors the Nativity County Fair leadership, and briefly recaps the open parish discussions.
