Advent and Christmas 2021

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.

Click Here for Livestreamed Liturgies

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.
Christmas — The Nativity of Our Lord
Saturday, December 25, 2021

Christmas is celebrated in many special ways at Nativity since it is not only one of the two great feasts of the Church year, it is also the patronal feast day of our parish.

Since it is a permanent holy day of obligation, Catholics are to attend a Christmas Mass in addition to Mass for the Holy Family (Sunday, December 26).

Christmas Eve Mass | Friday, December 24, 2021
- 2:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 6:00 PM
Christmas Day Mass | Saturday, December 25, 2021
- 12:00 AM, 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, (no 5:00 PM)
Please also note the following:
- There will be no 5:00 PM Mass on Saturday, December 25.
- The parish office will be closed December 23-24.
- There will be no Adoration December 24-25.
- A Mass on Saturday evening, December 25 (at another parish) can count for *either* the Christmas obligation or the Sunday obligation, but Catholics still must attend two separate Masses to fulfill both obligations.
