There’s rich irony in the pastor of a church called Nativity missing Christmas liturgies in his first year on the job. But as a believing Catholic Christian, I’m inclined to look for God’s hand moving amidst the seemingly random occurrences in our lives.

As our national Eucharistic revival continues into Year 2, and our local Synod focuses on a year of Eucharistic focus, there are many local formation opportunities available.

Through prayerful discernment, the Lord revealed to our Director of Discipleship, Mahalia Marcelin, that he has new plans for her, and she has decided to resign from her role here at Nativity of Our Lord, effective December 31.

By understanding the meaning of Advent and the Church’s intent for its celebration, Catholics can dispose themselves to the grace of the blessed time between now and Christmas.

As our national Eucharistic revival continues, and our local Synod focuses on a year of Eucharistic focus, there are many resources available on the Eucharist for individuals as well as Small Groups.

An essential part of Christian discipleship and hospitality is knowing the names and faces of our fellow parishioners. Thank you for help in making this possible!
