Please join us as we enter into this, the holiest time of the year!

We have compiled events happening here at Nativity of Our Lord that you can participate in via the web (daily Masses and Triduum Liturgies  — viewable by clicking on the window below) or in person (Adoration, Confessions, Altar of Repose), as well as some virtual offerings from the Archdiocese and elsewhere.

The idea is for individuals and families to come up with a plan that works for them to make the most out of Holy Week, the pinnacle of our liturgical year.

The Archdiocese is offering a week-long virtual retreat beginning Palm Sunday. Each day has two parts, a morning prayer time and an evening liturgy or conference. All of the events will be live streamed or recorded and available at https://www.archspm.org/holyweek/.

Finally, Archbishop Bernard Hebda continues to lead the “Litany in Time of Need” daily.
