NATIVITY DAYS 2026
Nativity Days is an annual parish festival, a gift to the parishioners for their active service, steadfast dedication, and love for the parish and the universal Church. At Nativity Days, we come together to experience prayer, family activities, games, meals, presentations, exhibits, and friendship for an entire weekend.
Each year, Nativity Days is made possible by the dedication of our volunteers. We invite you to explore the many opportunities to serve, experience the joy of helping others, and build friendships along the way.
