A Message from Our New Director of Discipleship

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

"Yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me."

― Galatians 2:20

It is with joy that I am letting you know that I have been promoted to Director of Discipleship. I am so humbled to have been promoted to this role at Nativity of Our Lord! I am so thankful to the clergy, staff, volunteers, and parishioners of Nativity of Our Lord for allowing me to express in words and deeds my love for Jesus and his people.

While I have the new title, it is communal because it results from your deep desire to make Jesus known and loved. Because of your hard work and evident thirst for souls for Jesus, our Faith Formation Ministry has become more of an Evangelization and Discipleship Ministry.

So Thank you for your love and dedication to the mission of Christ. As I have promised you in the past, I pray that I will continue to be a faithful servant of the Lord and our community. 

I count on your prayers as I embark on this new journey with Jesus and you! Please say a Hail Mary for me today! Be assured of my prayers and love, always!

In Christ, 

Mahalia K. Marcelin
Director of Discipleship
Nativity of Our Lord Church

"At last, I have found my vocation. My vocation is love.
 In the heart of the Church, my mother, I will be love, and then I will be all things."
