Please consider these local formation opportunities for Synod Year 2.
Christmas Book Gift and Discussion | December 24-25
Our Christmas gift to each family is Matthew Kelly’s book, 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory. The book is a daily prayer devotional, a spiritual pilgrimage, to help us fall more in love with Jesus, our Eucharistic Lord. Those not in Nativity small groups, and those in our small groups, are invited to participate.
We will have optional, weekly in-person discussions, on Mondays in January and early February. No sign up is needed. See https://nativitystpaul.org/news/christmas-book-gift-and-discussion for more information.

Walk to Emmaus - Invite someone to Adoration with you | December 1 to Easter
To encourage more parishioners to participate in Perpetual Adoration at Nativity, why not invite someone to Adoration with you each month? You need not be a committed adorer to participate. Just choose a day and time from our available hours at nativitystpaul.org/prayer. We hope you or your guest will sign up as a committed adorer after your experience.
To help us track our participation, and for ideas on how to spend your Adoration time, please sign in here each time you bring someone. The parishioner with the most invitations will be announced in the bulletin at Easter.
