Altar Serving

Altar Serving

Assisting the priests with liturgical celebrations

Altar serving is a sacred privilege that allows children and youth to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass while growing in faith, reverence, and love of the Lord. Boys and girls who have received their First Holy Communion and Confirmation are invited to serve. All new altar servers are required to complete a training program before serving at Mass or other liturgies.

Eucharistic Adoration

Eucharistic Adoration

“The best, the surest, and most effective way to establish peace on the face of the earth is through the great power of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.”St. John Paul II

Jesus gives Himself to us completely in the Eucharist and lovingly invites us to spend time with Him. Through Eucharistic Adoration, we respond to that invitation by offering Him the gift of our presence.

Nativity of Our Lord has 50 hours of open Eucharistic Adoration each week when all are invited to come and Adore. Whether for a few minutes or a full hour, everyone is welcome during these 50 hours of Eucharistic Adoration. 

In addition to the open hours, thanks to the faithful commitment of our parishioners, Jesus is accompanied in Eucharistic Adoration more than 100 hours each week at Nativity of Our Lord. These additional 50+ hours are when the Adoration Chapel is secured and is only accessible by Committed Adorers.
