Hurricane Season Information
If there are any updates or changes to the Masses or events at Nativity we will update via Facebook, this website, and by email. Please heed Emergency Management guidelines in case of emergency.
Please remain safe & know of our prayers.

COVID-19  Updates

Public Mass has Resumed! However, we have done some necessary changes to ensure we can resume in a safe manner. The details of which are here.

Mass Times during this time: Saturday - 5pm, Sunday - 10am. Confessions - 4:15pm Saturday, 9:15am Sunday, or by appointment.

Please note that we can only be at 25% capacity, which is about 30 people. Seating is therefore limited. Consider the 5 pm vigil Mass or a daily Mass at St. Francis Xavier where there are less attendees and more room to be spaced out, if you want to attend and have space.

The obligation to attend Mass on Sunday is dispensed through November 22nd. If you feel sick or uncomfortable returning just yet, you can wait to return.

This obviously is a continuing period of uncertainty for us all. Please remain patient as we make adjustments to our public worship plans to maintain everyone's health and safety.

Please take this time to take care of yourselves and your loved ones, but please also pray for those suffering at this time from the coronavirus or the fear of it. Please pray for an end to the coronavirus.
In 2020, Nativity of Our Lady is
celebrating 75 years!

Congratulations!

We welcome the new Bishop of Savannah, Stephen Parkes.

Month of the Holy Rosary
The Catholic Church designates October as the Month of the Holy Rosary. During this month the faithful venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary especially under her title of Our Lady of the Rosary, and make special effort to honor the Holy Rosary with group recitations and rosary processions. St. Dominic de Guzman, the founder of the Order of Preachers, is the saint to whom Our Lady famously appeared and gave the prayers of the Holy Rosary to assist him as a spiritual weapon in combating heresy and leading souls back to the one, true Catholic faith. 

For the month of October, we will be
praying the Rosary before each
10am Sunday Mass
Please join us.​
