Lent is upon us. Why not try something new in your faith life, and help Nativity of Our Lord along the way? We invite you to a Lenten Adoration Challenge: sign up for one of our open hours, and commit to the hour for the six weeks of Lent.

We are again celebrating a weekly 5pm Mass on Wednesdays effective immediately. As such, Confessions have been moved to 4:15-4:45pm and Adoration paused from 5-5:30pm on Wednesdays.

While we are grateful to announce that Adoration has greatly expanded in the last few months, it will now be starting at 6:00 AM on Mondays (instead of 5:00 AM) until we find a new Adorer for the 5:00 AM hour. Can you help?

October is beloved for many reasons: leaves, the Rosary, football... Wait! Football?! Yes! This year’s Reclaiming Sundays focus reminds us to pray, rest, and recreate. For many, that means football. But no matter how we like to recreate, we can reclaim our Sundays by intentionally spending them restfully and joyfully. Click here for suggestions.
