This weekend, Rev. Peter James Alindogan, Trenton Diocesan Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States, will speak at all Masses on behalf of our mission partners. During the past years, our diocese has shared our resources to needy and developing countries where the life giving presence of Christ in our world is proclaimed and professed.
Last year, Nativity was generous to the Diocese of Obuasi in Ghana, West Africa. Nativity contributed to the water projects, the construction of the Church and the training and formation of seminarians. These projects were made possible with your gracious financial assistance.
Our second collection next weekend will be taken to support the needs of our Catholic Churches around the world.
Thank you for being part of our Mission Family and in spreading the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in these developing nations of the world. Please be as generous as possible in this second collection.
Join us for Mass this Memorial Day weekend as we celebrate Pentecost, the birth of the Church, with cupcakes! Available after each service at the main entrances.
Mass Schedule
Saturday 4:30pm (Reconciliation 3:45pm-4:15pm)
Sunday 7:30am, 9:30am & 11:30am

Pentecost Sunday (Year A)
This week we celebrate Pentecost, the feast of the Church’s birth. With a roaring of the heavens and in tongues of fire, the Holy Spirit comes and enlightens the Apostles. Peter begins to preach with boldness and authority what Christ’s life and Death truly means. From that moment, the great mission of the Church begins. |

Pentecost | Sacred Art
Dr. Ben Akers and Taylor Kemp sit down with different pieces of Sacred Art to discuss their theological meanings and how they can speak to us today. |
