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.

Springs of Love Chapter at Nativity

Supporting Foster Care and Adoptive Families

Springs of Love is a national Catholic organization that promotes and supports Foster Care and Adoptive Families and families discerning a call to foster and/or adopt.  The need for foster care and adoptive families is huge and the success of those families is much improved when they have a community to support them.  The Springs of Love Chapter here at Nativity of Our Lord is hoping to become a blanket of love and support around existing foster and adoptive families in our community.  If you are interested in praying for families, providing for material needs (i.e. clothes, diapers, furniture), a warm meal, or respite care for a couple to have a date night, this is the group for you.

A Ministry for Married Couples

This is a couples ministry designed to help married couples live their marriage vocation through prayer, community and accountability. It begins with prayer that extends to the family. The couples are matched with a dedicated small group of 4-6 other couples which are accompanied by our priests and sisters. Quarterly, the families gather for a Half Day Together, which includes a meal, singing, family games and a lesson with one of the priests. In community, couples find others to share their lives and grow in sacramental holiness.
