Youth ministry is a passion of mine and I am so blessed to have been given the opportunity to volunteer over the last several years. This summer, I will join the parish staff as the new Assistant Director of Faith Formation - Small Group and Youth Ministry.

It became clear that God’s plan for me was here at Nativity as Parish Secretary and Volunteer Coordinator. I look forward to getting to know everyone better, and to using my talents to give back to the parish that has already given me so much.

I am the new Assistant Director of Discipleship - Faith Formation and am so excited to be a part of Nativity of Our Lord. I look forward to meeting you!

We are expanding our Donut Sunday weekends to be our official Welcome Weekends, and we want all parishioners to make time to stay after Mass to meet new parishioners, and become better acquainted with everybody else.

While retaining her responsibilities in Faith Formation, the scope of her role will expand to include hospitality as well as further outreach and evangelization-forward opportunities.

Congratulations to parishioner and now-Reverend Mr. John Rumpza and the now-Reverend Mr. Will Kratt, our teaching parish seminarian, for their ordinations to the Transitional Diaconate!

If you have ever started a sentence with, “The Church needs to…” then this is for you! Mark your calendars for September 28; October 5, 12, 19, and 26; and November 9 from 7-9pm.

We are looking for candidates who can plan and implement age-appropriate lessons and activities, interact well with children and parents, and work collaboratively with a teaching team.

I am Mahalia Marcelin, a servant of the Lord, serving as your Director of Faith Formation. It is an honor to serve Christ with you at Nativity of Our Lord.

Our Director of Faith Formation, Katie Schaitberger, has decided to step down from her position, as she has accepted another position in ministry elsewhere.

The priests and parish leadership of Nativity of Our Lord are currently in ongoing discussions on when and how to re-open our liturgies to public assembly as soon as is possible in a safe and healthy way.

I have a great passion for evangelization and meeting people where they are at in their faith journey. I look forward to meeting you!

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

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.

Hello to my new brothers and sisters at Nativity! I am blessed and excited to be serving with Fr. Hipwell as your new parochial vicar.

It is with mixed emotions that I tell you this, because while I am looking forward to my new assignment, I am certainly going miss Nativity.

We asked our new summer seminarian, Joe Connelly, to introduce himself to the parish.

Imagine Williams Arena packed full of college students, and instead of cheering on the U of M Men’s basketball team, they’re belting out mass responses and praise songs and giving thanks to God.
