Pastor's Welcome Message

"Prayer and worship are the center of any person's life as an active Catholic.
Sunday Mass is the irreplaceable backbone of a spiritual life, and the daily celebration of the Eucharist is very important to many parishioners. 
An impressive number of people attend one of our daily Masses,
​as well as come to pass a quiet moment in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
The treasured practice of perpetual adoration is long-standing at Nativity."
