  • Feast of Corpus Christi (parking)

    Parking Restrictions for Feast of Corpus Christi Celebration
    Sunday, June 3rd, 2018
    Please note that the parking lot on the west side of the church is being used for our Corpus Christi Celebration.
    Therefore the following parking restrictions need to be  implemented:
    On Sunday, June 3rd ONLY, the north end parking area behind the church and the school yard will be open for  parking during both the 9:00 am
    and 11:30 am Mass and
    throughout the days events.
    Hence, we suggest that if possible, for those who live nearby, to walk to Nativity for the 11:30 am Mass. Possibilities for parking include
    the side streets near Nativity,
    such as Carsbrooke Rd.,
    Wareside Rd., and Forestone Rd.,
    south of Rathburn Rd.
    Please be mindful of any parking restrictions on the local side streets.
    I thank all of you for
    cooperation and participation.
    Fr. Michael

  •    Feast of Corpus Christi

    Feast of Corpus Christi
     on 3rd June, 2018
    Nativity of Our Lord will once again be celebrating the Feast of Corpus Christi. 
     This year our event will be on Sunday, June 3rd, starting with the 11:30 am Mass. Following the Mass we invite you to be part of this profound experience as we process through our neighbourhood in worship and song.  We will end the procession with a BBQ,
    family fun and fellowship.
    We will have a special guest M.C. our own Nativity parishioner Jerry Howarth, retired Blue Jays broadcaster, helping us with the day’s events.
     Our theme remains the same: “Companions on The Journey.” 
    We chose this theme as a  reminder  that we journey together as a faith community, to proudly bear
    witness to our faith.
    We thank all who have already contributed to our Silent Auction and we are still gratefully accepting donations of any new items and/or gift cards.  
    Please forward any questions regarding the Silent Auction to:
    Magda Renta: mrenta@rogers.com
    Donations can be dropped off at the Church Office during office hours.
    Please join us!

    Volunteers Needed
    Nativity Summer Day Camp
     We are looking for energetic and fun loving Catholic leaders currently enrolled in high school or in a post-secondary program to volunteer for our Summer Day Camp in July. To pick up a volunteer application from or for more details, please visit the parish office.
    ***************
    Thank You
    We have completed the sacramental preparation of our youth and some adults for First Communion, Confirmation, and through our RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults), Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation at the same time for people who expressed their desire to become Catholics.  We would not be able to accomplish the work without the self-less generosity of our volunteer catechists and coordinators.  They have been the extended arms and legs of Our Lord in continuing the work of spreading the Gospel.  Our parish is blessed with many who work quietly, bringing young and old to a deeper, more personal knowledge and relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.  We thank all of them on behalf of all the families that have received this assistance throughout the year!
