Liturgy & Music
Concerts at Nativity
The Singers Christmas Concert - Sunday, December 13, 2pm
What Sweeter Music: Christmas with The Singers will offer
uplifting music inspired by the Christmas holiday Sunday,
December 13. Maybe it’s a lively Go, Tell it On the Mountain or The Wexford Carol that gets you in the holiday spirit
– or maybe you need Franz Biebl’s Ave Maria or motets by
Francis Poulenc. As always, nobody greets the holidays like
The Singers, an annual favorite for hundreds in our community! Tickets are $21-$33 and are available at the door or
online at www.singersmca.org.
The Rose Ensemble Concert - Friday, December 18, 7pm
Glorious Matins responsories and festive motets will
resound in decorated Italianate style, as a band of
period instruments joins
our full ensemble of singers in Christmas in Baroque Malta. Our ground-breaking
partnership with the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library has
paved the way for the North American premiere of 17thcentury Christmas music preserved for hundreds of years in
Maltese archives. Forget “Jingle Bells,” The Rose Ensemble
welcomes this Christmas season with Baroque splendor
and joy! Tickets are $10-$37, Children up to 12 years get
in for free, and some tickets may still be available at the
door. Visit www.roseensemble.org for tickets.
Respect Life
Behold, the Virgin Shall Bear a Child
"You have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in
your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High."
-Luke 1:30-32
Father in heaven, help me to see Jesus in my own surroundings. Help me to bring him into the world I live in and to be
Mary-like as I strive to be a witness of faith and love. Help
me to learn to submit my will and to trust, as Mary did, in
God's will. Blessed Mother, you are our mother too. Please
pray today for the mothers who do not know you. Pray for
those who feel abandoned, abused, and alone. Pray for
those who see abortion as a solution to a fearful pregnancy. Pray too, for us in the pro-life movement, that we may be
a witness of joy and love to all we meet today. Amen.
--From Prayers for Life, Forty Daily Devotions
by Mary Ann Kuharski
Prayer and Song at Planned Parenthood - December 22
Join us in shining the light of Jesus' love in a place in desperate need of hope and joy. We will meet on Tuesday, December 22 from 9-11am at the Planned Parenthood on Vandalia,
just north of University in St. Paul to sing carols and pray the
rosary and other prayers asking for intercession for those
vulnerable to abortion and those caught up in its industry as
well. Please contact Karen McCann with questions, to carpool, or for more information at karmccann@comcast.net or
(612) 964-4522.

2nd Collection
Retirement Fund for Religious (RFR) - December 12-13
Next Weekend, Nativity will be participating in the annual national collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious (RFR).
The Catholic bishops of the United States initiated the RFR in
1988 to address the profound lack of retirement funding
among religious communities. Despite ongoing generosity to
the annual collection, numerous communities continue to
struggle to provide adequate care for their senior members.
Financial distributions from the RFR offer supplemental support for bolstering retirement savings and for meeting such
day-to-day needs as prescription medications and nursing
care. As St. Paul reminds us, “So then, while we have the
opportunity, let us do good to all, but especially to those who
belong to the family of the faith” (Gal 6:10).
Online Giving
New Online Giving Service
Nativity has partnered with a new online giving service through
eCatholic Payments which will allow for greater ease in online
donations, as well as for the opportunity to receive other sorts
of payments online. As a result of this changeover, we will be
phasing out our previous online payment provider, Vanco Services, over the next twelve months. Those currently enrolled
in online recurring payments through Vanco Services are
asked to close their Vanco account and create a new recurring
payment through eCatholic. Visit Parish.nativity-mn.org/online
-giving to begin this process, and please contact the parish
office at 696-5401 if you would like help. Thank you for your
understanding and patience throughout this process.
Note: Those enrolled in electronic payments through the parish office (instead of the website) do NOT need to make any
changes, as the accounting office will handle the changeover
for those accounts.
If you would like to sign up for online giving, visit
Parish.nativity-mn.org/online-giving to sign up securely using a
checking account, credit card, or debit card. You can give one
-time gifts or arrange a recurring monthly payment. You can
also choose to give to the general (stewardship) fund or specify the Forward With Faith Capital Campaign or the Nativity
School Scholarship Fund. This past Sunday, electronic gifts
accounted for $14,646 or 35% of total stewardship gifts.

Adoration
Archdiocese
Prayer for a New Archbishop
Good and Gracious God, giver of all good gifts, grant to this
Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis an Archbishop
who will unite us in our diversity and call forth those gifts with
which you have so richly blessed this family of
faith. May he be a Shepherd after your own
heart, a faithful and merciful servant, whose
gentleness will bring healing and comfort, and
whose courage will inspire. May his life radiate
the Joy of the Gospel and his unfailing confidence in your providential care lead us all to a
renewed sense of trust. May he be a prayerful
instrument of your grace in our lives, empowering us to live out our shared vocation as missionary disciples.
We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Events for the Jubilee Year of Mercy - Sunday, December 13

Annual Prayer Service for Life - January 22
Please join us at the Cathedral of Saint Paul at 10:30am on
