Unwrap Nativity of Our Lord
...and you’ll find something very special. After Christmas, we invite you to take a closer look at our amazing community.
Acts of Mercy
We show God’s mercy in more ways than we often share publicly. From visiting the homebound or sick to funeral planning and bereavement groups, to the many charities and individuals our parishioners help support, we are grateful for God’s call to support our brothers and sisters spiritually, emotionally, and materially.
Bright Futures
We support parents in helping to form over 500 young people at any given time. Our school, Nativity: Faith & Reason, and age specific ministries (pre-school, elementary, middle, high school, and young adults) blend real experience with the timeless lessons that help grow bright futures. The gifts of our clergy, ministry leaders, faculty and volunteers make our parish a place of hope.
God’s Grace
We are, above all, a Catholic Church and everything we do is inspired and sustained by the presence of the living God. From the quiet of Eucharistic adoration, to the celebration of Holy Mass, through each of the seven sacraments, and countless personal spiritual exercises, we continuously grow and are nourished by His love.
Family Support
Through the “Families of John Paul II” we accompany couples on their marriage journey. We offer support and guidance on marriage and family through small groups of 4-6 families each, as well as periodic large gatherings of 70 or more families to create a local community to foster friendship. We help each thrive by living our faith in Christ together.
JoyFul Community
There are so many ways to become involved in our vibrant community! We host a major three-day parish festival, "Nativity Days," along with seasonal evening gatherings known as "Nativity Nights." In addition, we offer a variety of ministries, including the Knights of Columbus, Respect Life, Endow, St. Vincent de Paul Society, the Catholic movement, Communion & Liberation (CL), and special confidential support groups like Hope Corner and Stephen Ministry. Reach out and we’ll point you where friendships and community may be waiting for you!
End-of-Year Giving at Nativity of Our Lord
What does the Catholic Church do? It exists to do three things: proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, make His grace available through the sacraments, and carry out His works of mercy. As simple as that sounds, it requires individuals and local communities to use their energy, time, creativity, sacrifice, and love to make that a reality for us and our neighbors.
Here at Nativity of Our Lord, we are continually humbled by the generosity and faithfulness of our parishioners, community members, and guests. Their contributions make an incredible variety of activities possible—whether it’s a sandwich handed directly to someone in need, ministries that transform lives, or the simple, sacred space of a chapel for quiet reflection in Christ’s presence. We could site countless ways your gift will make a difference.
Giving through your local parish ensures your gift addresses immediate personal needs, fosters community, avoids unnecessary waste, and becomes a source of God’s grace for you and others.
We invite you to prayerfully consider making an end-of-year gift, and we sincerely thank you for your support.
