Nativity of Our Lord Youth Ministry
This fall will mark our 10th year of having
a vibrant youth ministry at
Nativity of Our Lord Parish.
We have much to be grateful for.
Through our youth ministry, many of our young people have had their lives changed and have made lasting Christ centered relationships. On behalf of all the young people that have been a part of the program over the years, I would like to thank the continuous support of our past and current parish priests, the CWL, Knights of Columbus, the many volunteers who were generous with their time and gifts over the years and all parishioners for your words of encouragement, affirmation and prayers. Please continue to keep our ministry in your prayers and join us on September 29th to celebrate with us.
In Christ, Courtney Strom.
