Registration is now open for Faith Formation at Nativity of Our Lord beginning in the fall for Grades 1-8. Classes are Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00 PM in Nativity School beginning Wednesday, September 18.

Kids in preschool through grade five are invited to Holy Kids Camp August 7-10 with the Pro Ecclesia Sancta religious men and women at St. Mark's. Register by July 1!

I am very pleased to announce that two religious sisters from the order of the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus will be coming to work in our School and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program, beginning this fall.

Our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program is looking for more hands and hearts to serve as both catechists and assistants for a couple of hours per week, from late September through mid-May. 

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!

Having surpassed nine months with you now, let me tell you what a great grace it is to be serving Christ with you here at Nativity of Our Lord, and offer an update on the implementation of the One Nativity 2035 strategic planning as it relates to our mission.

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.

It is with joy that I am letting you know that I have been promoted to Director of Discipleship. I count on your prayers as I embark on this new journey with Jesus and you!

Registration is ongoing for the 2023-24 session of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for students 3-5 years of age, and space is still available for this Montessori-based program at Nativity of Our Lord.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd offers training not only to benefit a catechist but as a truly heart-opening, faith-engaging retreat experience for anyone. Sign up for summer training in Lakeville July 25-27 or August 15-17.

Children's Liturgy has been suspended for the summer. See you in the fall!

Do you want to make a positive difference in the faith formation of our K-2 children? Please consider joining a team of adults who offer the Children’s Liturgy of the Word during the 9:00 AM Sunday Mass.

Each year, the Catholic Church in the United States designates this third Sunday in September as Catechetical Sunday. It is a day to celebrate and pray for the Church’s mission to teach the Gospel to all people. 

We need volunteer Catechists and RCIA Sponsors for the 2022-23 Faith Formation year. ​​​​​​​Can you help?

We are excited about this upcoming year! Our theme for students entering grades 1-8 this fall is, “Remain in me, as I also remain in you.” Have you signed up yet?

Anyone wanting to be Confirmed (currently starting 7th grade) or receive First Holy Communion (2nd grade) must be registered by September 21.

Pick up a prayer card at the doors of church and join us in praying for our catechists who will be teaching our children in Faith Formation this year.

Parishioners who love to share their faith in Christ and his Church are needed to teach our faith formation students. We are also looking for teen volunteers to serve as assistants to the catechists.

RCIA is the process by which persons who were never baptized, or were baptized in another Christian tradition, become members of the Church, a people on pilgrimage to our Heavenly Father.

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.
