Director of Mission Search Update

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I would like to provide an update for you on the search process for the Director of Mission we launched in May. Our hope was to hire someone to join our leadership team who would provide leadership for the Discipleship team at Nativity of Our Lord, including faith formation, youth ministry, OCIA, pastoral ministry, and community outreach.

We completed our search process a few weeks ago and determined that Nativity would be best served by delaying the hiring process for a period of six months to a year so that we can better define the scope of the position with the Discipleship team.  

I am pleased to announce that Fr. John Paul Erickson, our Parochial Vicar, has generously agreed to provide leadership for the Discipleship team in the coming months and will help the team carry out our mission in service of our community.  We are proud of the work being done by the team and we are committed to finding a new Director of Mission to lead their work by next summer.  

Please keep our Discipleship team in your prayers as they grow in the love of Christ and help us to do the same.

Sincerely in Christ, 

Fr. Rolf Tollefson
Pastor of Nativity of Our Lord
