Welcome to the 2022-23 Year!
September 8, 2022
Dear Brother and Sisters,
Happy Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
It has been such a blessing to walk with you this whole year! I want to take a moment to thank each of you for welcoming me with Love at Nativity of Our Lord! I am grateful to the staff and volunteers of Nativity of Our Lord Parish and School, especially the Clergy, for their leadership and collaboration! With God’s grace and guidance, we have accomplished a lot as a community. I have been honored to build upon what my predecessors have done in the past. I have continued their beautiful works with their blessings and brought ne
w events and programs. Nativity Youth Ministry has been meeting consistently for a whole year! We had different retreats, open RCIA sessions, bible studies, and more. We had a wonderful season of Sacraments. All Glory and Thanks be to God for granting us the graces to see the fruits of our labor!
As we move to a new Faith Formation year, in my prayers for our ministry, I felt the call to Remain in Christ: To hold Christ even tighter than ever before. So, I invite all of us to meditate on this scripture: Remain in Me as I remain in you! (John 15:4) Remaining in Christ is not a simple task! We must stay connected to the vine. Nativity of Our Lord offers excellent, faith-filled opportunities to grow in holiness together as brothers and sisters in Christ. Let us take advantage of them so we may stay connected to the Vine! Let's look into “being in communion with Jesus this year!” As the Eucharistic Revival stated so well,” It takes time to kindle a living, loving relationship—and a relationship with Jesus Christ is no exception.” Let’s take that time this year. See below for the wonderful opportunities that we will offer this year! We will have an open house on September 11, 2022. Come and see!
So, to conclude, I want to thank you for your support, prayers, and, most of all, for your LOVE. I pray that my service in Faith Formation mirrored my first letter to you: To be but a pencil in God’s hand. As we start this new year, may all that we do together as a community, be of Christ and only of Christ! Let us together seek God as we strive to become true “Missionary Disciples” of Christ.
Your Servant in Christ,
Mahalia Marcelin
Faith Formation Director

Pour out the same Holy Spirit
on these elect,
who long for Your sacraments.
Guide them along the paths of right faith,
safe from error, doubt, and unbelief,
so that with eyes unsealed
they may come to see You face to face,
for You live and reign forever. Amen. -
