Pastor’s Corner…
On behalf of Fr. Al, Fr. Gerard, Deacons Ralph and Jim, all the staff of Nativity Parish and School, I
wish you a Happy and Blessed Easter!
   Jesus Christ is Risen Today – Alleluia! Our Triumphant Holy Day – Alleluia!
   Who did once upon the cross – Alleluia! Suffer to redeem our loss – Alleluia!

As we began Holy Week on Palm Sunday, I was so filled with gratitude to see so many at church,
as I had memories of a year ago when we were on lockdown and our church was empty for Holy
Week. It made me thankful for the resilience of the Church and our Nativity community. Having so
many of us back together for Easter makes it all the more special. I hope you feel that way too. We
keep looking forward in hope when immunity from the virus is reached and all of our community
is back together at the Eucharistic table!
Thanks for hanging in there. This past
year is a good reminder that the agony
of the cross leads to the glory of the
resurrection!

Congratulations to our new Catholics
who joined the Church, as well as those
completing their full initiation at the
Easter Vigil. Dean Johnston, Lindsay
Barrett, and Katy Woodland were
Baptized, Confirmed and received their
First Holy Communion. Two young people:
Kinzie & Shailey Johnston were baptized
and received their First Holy Communion.
Clara & Josie Benskin completed their
initiation through Confirmation and Holy
Eucharist. Adrienne Besler completed her initiation into the Church through Confirmation.

We are so proud of all of you! We pray that your relationship with Christ continues to grow and that
you will always feel at home in the Catholic Church and in our Nativity Community. We welcome
you with great joy and we pray that God will continue to bring to completion the good work he has
begun in you!

The Risen Lord continues to call people to follow him, to work in his vineyard, to build the kingdom,
to be witnesses and beautiful members that make up His Body – the Church! Ever since those
first witnesses “saw and believed,” down through the ages, people like us have been living and
sharing the good news, that Jesus is risen from the dead, celebrating that through his life, death
and resurrection we are saved and are heirs to his promise of eternal life! Through witnesses,
our new converts were drawn to Jesus and his Church. As they have received, so they have been
commissioned to share. In their daily living, they will give testimony to the reality that Christ lives
in them and makes a difference in their lives. No doubt, others will “see and believe” and be drawn
into the life of the Risen Lord!

Our call during these 50 days of Easter is to continue to allow the Risen Christ to shine through
us! Spread the Good News with Easter vision and witness that is filled with faith, hope, love, peace,
kindness, forgiveness, courage, generosity and sacrifice. It’s the Christian calling of a lifetime. As
we renew our Baptismal Promises, once again, we say: “Yes Lord, I’ll do it!” “Yes Lord, I’ll follow
you to the best of my ability!” “Yes, Lord, I’ll trust and rely on your grace to help me.”
Thanks for the many ways you witness to the Risen Christ and give so generously of yourselves for
his glory and the good of his Church!

“This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad!”

Easter Love & Peace to you dear family,

Fr. Mike

Nativity Parish School

     DISCOVER THE
     DIFFERENCE
     OF A
     NATIVITY PARISH
     SCHOOL EDUCATION
         We are a place of prayer where Christ is
         the center of all things.

         Our school teaches the mind and touches
         the heart so students will come to know,
         love and serve the Lord and one another.

         Our small class size offers a safe place
         where children are nurtured spiritually
         and academically.

         We are an Archdiocese Premiere STREAM
         school. (Science, Technology, Religion,
         Engineering, Arts and Math) Our faith,
         interwoven throughout an excellent
         academic experience, is one of the factors
         that make our students successful. It is
         our Catholic identity that puts the “R” in
         STREAM.

         We are more than an institution. Our
         school community is our family.

         Our students move on to high school as
         confident learners with academic success.
