Knights of Columbus
40 Days for Life
O, Mary, bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the
cause of life. Look down, O Mother, upon the
vast number of babies not allowed to be
born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of
brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick
killed by indifference or out of misguided
mercy.
Grant that all who believe in your son may proclaim the
Gospel of Life with honesty and love to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever
new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their
lives, and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely. May we
build, together with all people of good will, a civilization of
truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and
lover of life. Amen
The next meeting will be at St Joseph’s Church in West St Paul
on April 7 in the Great Room at 7:30pm. We will be discussing
the State Convention, Wakota Lifecare Benefit, Elections,
Tootsie Roll Drive, Star Council Award, Night at the Fire Pit
with the MYO, raffle ticket sales, and the Habitat for Humanity
Project.
Thank you to all who participated in 40 Days for Life this
Spring. Your prayers, outreach & witness are making a difference in the lives of many. God Bless you all!

Have you committed to turn? Take one small action this
week that will allow some of His Light to cross your path.
This week, before you put your feet on the floor each morning can you ask God to guide those feet?
Perhaps you will encounter a difficult relative at Easter dinner? Can you resolve to put a smile on your face for that
person?
Headed out of town for spring break? Can you take a few
minutes to learn about the people that serve you on vacation? Possibly contribute the cost of a vacation dinner to a
charity that serves that community?
If it’s not this week – then turn next week –or the week after
that...
He is always waiting. He is always there. Turn.
Jesus, help me to seek your light.
Want to go deeper? Search YouTube for “Matt Maher Turn
Around” to hear the inspiration for the Turn series. Or
search “Matt Maher playlist” to be uplifted as you do some
spring cleaning or yard work.
School Play
From the Hip
Congratulations to the cast, crew and directors of this year's
7th and 8th grade performance of Disney’s Peter Pan, Jr!
The cast brought this musical production to life by their wonderful singing and acting. A special thank you to Mrs. Suzanne Graff Gomes, Director; Miss Jay Korte, Assistant Director; Mrs. Jen Dusek and Mr. Michael Loonan, Music Directors; Mr. Gary Iverson, Ms. Becky Olson Metzger, Mr. Dan
Anderson, Mr. Mark Hennessey, Mr. Ben Green, Crew Directors; Miss Katelyn Jaksha, High School Assistant Director.
To all of the parents who gave of their time and talents
with sets, costumes, make-up, as hallway chaperones, ticket, and concession sales. Your dedication and hard work
created a wonderful theatrical performance as well as treasured memories for our students. Thank you!
Easter Hospitality
As we approach the Triduum and Easter
week, we are aware of Christ’s love and invitation to us all. Easter is a time when Nativity
has many visitors and returning Catholics.
Please be sure to be as welcoming as Christ:
smile, make eye contact, move to the center
of the pew, and welcome visitors. Invite them
back to future masses. Your friendly, warm response will mirror Christ’s love and grace to new and returning Catholics.
Adoration
This Lent, I urge you to consider dedicating yourself to one
hour of weekly prayer in Nativity’s Perpetual Adoration Chapel. By committing yourself to weekly prayer in the presence of
the Blessed Sacrament, you will begin to fully open yourself to
the Lord and allow Him to accomplish what He wills in your
life. So, please make this Lent different from any other Lent,
so as to experience a more profound Triduum and Easter that
will carry through to a permanent change in your spiritual life.
Fr. Patrick

Dementia Champions Training - Thursday, April 2, 11am-1pm
in Carondelet Village Auditorium (light lunch will be served).
Dementia Champion training video will also be available
online beginning in April at http://www.actonalz.org/.
Seven of Nativity’s RCIA candidates are prayerfully awaiting
their Reception into the Catholic Church at our Easter Vigil this
Saturday, April 4. After their Profession of Faith, they will be
Confirmed as Catholics and then receive their First Holy Communion. Through God’s grace and providence there are also
three Elect in this years’ RCIA process that will be baptized
and confirmed and will then join us at the altar for their First
Communion at that same Easter Vigil.
In keeping with the tradition of the early Church in the
Mediterranean world the Easter Vigil has again (since the Second Vatican Council) become the prime time when converts
celebrate these Sacraments of Initiation and join us for the
first time at the altar to receive the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As Christians who will renew our Baptismal Vows during
the Easter Masses, let us all keep these women and men in
our prayers during this Holy Week, “...When Christians everywhere, washed clean of sin and freed from all defilement, are
restored to grace and grow together in holiness” (from the
Exultet which is sung during the Easter Vigil liturgy).
Educational Series on Grief - April 8, May 20
All are welcome to learn the intimate dynamics of grief from

Grief Group - April 9 (NOT April 2)
Nativity of Our Lord Church hosts a monthly group to support
anyone who has suffered loss of someone or something of
value. Grief is individual but is often eased with sharing your
experiences with others. We typically meet the First Thursday
of each month September-May in the Bride’s Room.

Anyone can become a Dementia Friend. Simply attend an
hour-long session to learn a little bit about dementia to better

school during the week. If you prefer to make a cash donation, checks should be made payable to Keystone Community

Music Ministry
The Singers MN Choral Artists Concert - April 12
For the first time in the ensemble’s history, The Singers present a concert of music solely from the Renaissance era entitled Underground Renaissance. As the political and religious
winds changed rapidly throughout the Tudor Era, William Byrd
composed his Mass for Four Voices late in life after a conversion to the Catholic Church, all the while serving the
Protestant Queen Elizabeth I. The Singers also will share portions of The Triumphs of Oriana, a 1601 madrigal collection
assembled by THOMAS MORLEY in the Queen’s honor.
Details: Sunday, April 12, 2pm at Nativity
William Byrd | Mass for Four Voices and Vigilate
Orlando Gibbons | O Clap Your Hands
Weelkes, Bennet, Morley | excerpts from The Triumphs of
Oriana

Catholic Services Appeal
Parish Directories
The 2015 Catholic Services Appeal (CSA)
is underway. If you have not made your
contribution to the 2015 CSA, please
consider doing so today. Pledge envelopes are available in each pew.
The Appeal funds services that no
one parish or individual can support
alone. These services must go on
throughout these troubled times in our
Archdiocese.
And, when our parish reaches its
goal, 25% of all funds received will be
returned for use to support ministries in our parish.
Please give generously to help share the message of salvation throughout our local church and beyond. For a description of CSA-designated ministries, or to give online,
please visit the new Catholic Services Appeal Foundation
website at www.csafspm.org.
Nativity Parish Directories are available for all individuals and
households who sat for directory photographs. School families who sat for directory photographs may pick up directories
at the school front office. All others who sat for directory photographs may pick up directories in the church vestibule.
(Apologies for the unavailability of directories at last weekend’s masses!) A limited number of directories are available
at the Lannan Center Parish Office, on a first-come, firstserved basis, for parishioners who were not photographed.
Directory questions? Contact BJ Kranz at 696-5443 or
[email protected].
