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.

Kate Wollan was one of eight honorees celebrated for excellence by St. Mary’s University and Synergy & Leadership Exchange at the Character Recognition Awards luncheon on May 16. 

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.

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.

Hello! My name is Brian Carson, and I am the new Director of Music at Nativity of Our Lord.

We have a new parish secretary, Beth Erickson, taking over the front desk of the Lannan Center parish office. Tim Huberty continues administrative support to the priests and assisting with sacramental prep. 

Beginning Monday, 9/14, we will open at 8:30 AM, close at 4:30 PM, and close for lunch from 12:00-1:00 PM, Monday-Thursday. Friday will be 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM.

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.

Does it get any better than a home-cooked feast with all our loved ones, toasting to another year of blessings, cozying up by the fire with hot cocoa? Well, yes it does, believe it or not.

Update: The front desk of the Lannan Center (parish office) has re-opened, and telephone service has been restored. Thank you for your patience.

The Twin Cities Marathon may affect your route to church this weekend, as parts of Summit Avenue will be closed Saturday and Sunday, October 5-6.
