Parish Stewardship offering (Sunday collections) is available online. We want to thank you for your generous sacrificial offering to God and His church.  Please know of our continued prayers for you and your loved ones.

We, the church staff, miss you and look forward to the time when we can gather again as family to worship Almighty God.  We know that it has been difficult on everyone.   Please know of our prayers and Masses said daily for you.  With heart felt appreciation we would like to thank everyone who has been praying, worshiping at home, cleaning up around the church property, bringing us food, and calling or sending notes to check on us with well wishes. 

We would also like to thank you for your continued financial support to St. Mary’s Nativity; your support is greatly needed and appreciated.  You can make a contribution by going on our website (click on online giving) or you can just mail it in. 

With your prayers and God’s grace, the day will come when we will again gather in Church to sing God’s praises.  What a great weekend that will be!

My dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

In this time when we are living and protecting ourselves and our loved ones through “social distancing” we miss you and we have been praying for you.  Although we cannot physically gather together, we can stay connected through the telephone and the internet.  In the parish we are setting up a phone calling system to reach you. 

I believe that it is important for you and all of our parishioners to hear a voice representing St. Mary’s Church.  I have asked our church leadership (our Pastoral Council, our Parish Implementation Team, and our Matthew 25 members) to help make this happen. To make this happen the church office staff will divide up our registered parish phone list among the leadership and they will call you safely from the comfort of their homes.  The church office will print your name and phone number and confidentially share it with only the assigned leader calling you.  I am asking the leadership to call you and stay in touch with about 10 - 20 families each, calling at least once a month if possible until we can gather at church again to worship.    Meanwhile, we invite you to stay connected with the parish by using social media like St. Mary’s website and Facebook.

Again the purpose is that we want to provide a personal connection for you as well as to assist you with possible physical and/or spiritual needs.  If there is a need, the leadership will contact me.  We hope to begin making phone calls the Monday after Easter, April 13, 2020.  

 I want to thank our St. Mary’s parish leadership; it is our hope and our dream that these phone calls will help us stay connected during these days.

In short, we want to offer you a message of hope and LOVE. 

God bless +
