Nativity of Our Lord was blessed to host this precious monstrance February 23-26 during Adoration, thanks to the local St. Paul Serra Club. The monstrance was then used for Adoration on March 6 at the Minnesota state Capitol, organized by the state’s Catholic bishops.

Adoration will be suspended (and the church locked) on Friday, March 27 from 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM. We apologize for any inconvenience and we thank you for your understanding.

There will be no Adoration beginning at 6:00 PM on Sunday, March 15 until 9:00 AM on Monday, March 16 due to forecasted inclement weather.

The city of St. Paul has declared a Snow Emergency beginning at 9:00 PM tonight.

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.

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?

We now need one new weekly committed Adorer, from 7:00-8:00 PM on Mondays. Can you help?

Adoration will be suspended today through Friday, and the parish office will be closed Thursday and Friday due to inclement weather.

We are now taking signups for Adoration hours from 9am-3pm on Wednesdays, and will offer Adoration throughout those times as soon as we have each of the six hours covered with commitments.

We are now able to officially expand our Adoration hours on Tuesday nights (10pm-12am), Wednesday mornings (12am-8am), and Wednesday afternoons (3pm-5:30pm).

Tuesday and Friday 5pm Masses to return, with Confessions beforehand; Distancing requirements removed; Adoration to move to chapel, expand overnight Tuesday into Wednesday afternoon, pending commitments
