Online Seat Reservation for Sunday Masses

Church of the Nativity offers online reservation for all of our Sunday Masses.  There are three Masses that you can choose from and be able to reserve your seat at the Mass that you wish to attend.  We will be updating this page weekly to activate the links that will take you to the registration site.​  Alternatively, sign up for the Parish Email Newsletter and you will receive notifications of when the Mass online registration opens up.

​For anyone who wishes to participate and attend the Mass, there is an Informed Consent for In-Person Attendance at Mass During COVID-19 Public Health Crisis form that will need to be filled out by each Mass attendee.  Here is the PDF copy should you wish to download and fill out and submit upon check-in as it will help in the check-in process.  Thank you for your patience and cooperation.  We greatly appreciate it.

The Mass times are as follows:  At this time, single/individual persons may reserve for a Couples seat.  ​In the event internal church seats are all filled, we have the outdoor front courtyard and the O'Hare Center seating available to handle overflow.  No reservations needed.  Our ushers will be around to guide you.
