Happy Easter!

Dear Parishioners and Friends,
 
This weekend we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord! Through Ash Wednesday, Lent, and now the Sacred Triduum, we have prayed, repented, and worshipped together. Finally, we join together in the Highest Feast Day of the year, the Mass of the Resurrection! Blessings on you and your family during this most sacred and glorious time.
 
To provide support for your alleluias and hymns of joy to continue throughout the year, Nativity has partnered with FORMED, a digital platform offered by the Augustine Institute that will give each one of us unlimited access to study programs, feature films, audio presentations, and ebooks. On our own electronic devices, we can be inspired by some of the Catholic Church’s best voices of our times, such as Bishop Robert Barron, Mother Theresa, Jeff Cavins, and Fr. Mike Schmitz.
 
Next week, I will have information for you on how you can easily access this inspiring programming. I am so appreciative that our parish’s participation in the FORMED program this coming year is made possible by dedicated gifts from generous Nativity parishioners.
 
May the Lord’s Easter Grace and Love be with you today and throughout your week.
 
Fr. Patrick Hipwell
