| Stations of the Cross Stations of the Cross will be prayed every Friday during Lent at 7pm in the Church. During this half hour service, a priest or other leader recalls and meditates on a specific event from Christ’s last day at each of the 14 stations while parishioners stay in pews and recite prayers. |
| Lenten Fish Fry On Friday, April 4, Nativity and the Knights of Columbus will be hosting our annual Lenten Fish Meal at 6pm in the Parish Hall. The menu will include broiled or fried fish, French fries, coleslaw, pizza and water. In lieu of the price of admission, there will be a free will offering during the event. Reservations are required! Please email welcome@nativitychurchnj.org or call 732-741-1714 x210 by Thursday, March 28 at noon to make a reservation. Reservations cannot be accepted after this time, as the fish order will already have been placed. Please also join us for Stations of the Cross at 5:30pm (Children’s Stations) or 7pm (Parishioners). |
| Lenten Night of Reflection: Admitting the Things I Need to Change On Monday, April 7, we will be having a Lenten Night of Reflection at 7pm in the Church. Fr. Matt Tralies will be leading the reflection, “Admitting the Things I Need to Change.” A priest of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and pastor at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Springfield, PA, Fr. Matt has been a friend of Fr. Chris since their seminary days. Fr. Chris describes him as “very down to earth and relatable.” 🙂 It will be a good opportunity for us to take some time and reflect during this season of Lent. |
| Evening Confessions During Lent In additional to our normal Saturday confession time of 3:30pm-4:15pm, we will be adding an extra opportunity for confessions this Lent on Tuesday, April 8 from 7pm-8:30pm in the Church. |
| Adult Faith Formation: The Life of Christ Come to the Wednesday Morning Renew Group at 9am in the Parish Library to study the life of Christ. Remaining dates: April 9, 16, and 23. Filmed on location in the Holy Land, JESUS: THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE is a new and fresh look at Jesus—who He is, what He is really like, what He taught, and what He did for our salvation. This encounter with Christ will inspire and empower you to center your entire life around Him as you come to know and love him in an ever deeper and more intimate way. Feel free to join us!
