Please join me in entering into this joyful, hopeful, and yes also penitential season of Advent here at Nativity of Our Lord! 

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

One Nativity 2035 is a collaboration of the clergy, parishioners, and staff of Nativity of Our Lord to identify and recommend ways to better communicate, bolster, and sustain our parish mission in service of this vibrant Catholic community — today and well into the future.

We, the priests and principals of the Nativity community, want to look directly at some painful sores that cover the suffering members of the universal Church, choosing not to ignore them, but treat them in openness and shared purpose.

Fr. Patrick announces the soon-to-be promulgated Parish Mission Statement, which is an important tool to understand who we are and where we are going as one Nativity community.

I’m proud to officially announce the hiring of our new Director of Faith Formation, Katie Schaitberger.

It has been my personal pleasure to work with Randy for the past decade or so as he has led some of the most important parts of our mission here at Nativity.

Fr. Patrick congratulates the Nativity School 8th grade Class of 2019 and sends them off with a word of exhortation.

Fr. Patrick passes on the Archbishop's re-invitation to contribute to the Catholic Services Appeal in support essential ministries in our local Church.

Kathy and Stewart Laird were honored earlier this month at the Cana Family Institute’s Cana Banquet.

Sr. Grace was the last Sister of St. Joseph who served at Nativity School, working in our school office and in our community up to and through her retirement years.

Congratulations to Deacon Joe Connelly and Deacon Zane Pekron on their upcoming ordinations to priesthood, Brother Florian Rumpza on his first profession, and Deacon Jerry Devine on 40 years in the permanent diaconate.

Easter tidings from our pastor, Fr. Patrick Hipwell

Fr. Patrick reflects on our Lenten efforts and offers and update on the church structure.

May your Lenten journey be blessed with healing and a deeper relationship with Christ.

Fr. Patrick thanks parishioners for their perseverance through weather and transportation challenges. He also announces some changes in volunteer and staff leadership.

A Christmas message from our Pastor

It is the beautiful task of Advent to prepare our hearts for Jesus' birth, and prepare to joyfully and fully welcome Him into lives.

As we approach our annual stewardship weekend, I am reminded of the school’s theme for this year, “Called to Serve with a Joyful Heart.”

Thank you to all who attended, volunteered, and financially supported Nativity County Fair 2018! The Fair could not happen without the whole parish community coming together to make it a success.
