Advent and Christmas Schedule

Please make plans to join us as we again celebrate the Advent season in anticipation of the Nativity of Our Lord, our patronal feast day. 
 

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Nativity will offer socially distanced seating in Steiner Hall with livestreamed video and Holy Communion for all Christmas liturgies.

We will continue to distribute Communion at the side aisles in the church, to allow for better spacing, and Eucharistic Ministers will continue to wear masks. Masks are strongly recommended for all, particularly those who are not vaccinated, but not required.

Otherwise, will observe our current liturgical protocols in place and will not require reservations for our holy day liturgies.
