With the increasing cost of construction, prices have gone up on the new mausoleum crypts. Nativity of Our Lady has for sale some crypts in our previously-constructed mausoleums. I wanted to give parishioners an opportunity to buy crypts in our older mausoleum at reduced prices. Nativity of Our Lady currently has 6 double crypts on the top row for $8,190 each. The price for a double crypt on the top row in the new mausoleum is $9,850 each. Nativity of Our Lady has 1 single crypt on the top row for $3,395. The price for a single crypt on the top row in the new mausoleum is $5,025. If anyone is interested in considering the purchase of these Nativity-owned crypts at the cheaper prices, please call our church office and we can show you where they are located. God Bless, Starting September 12th and September 14th Mary, Virgin, Mother & Queen Bible Study By Fr. Mitch Pacwa Tuesdays at 9am & Thursdays after 5:30pm Mass Study held in Barsen Hall Fr. Pacwa brings his devotion to the Blessed Mother alive for every Catholic in the next in his series of wildly popular Bible studies. Mary - Virgin, Mother, and Queen: A Bible Study Guide for Catholics looks at Old and New Testament texts that are relevant to the Marian doctrine, including: God's promise in Genesis that a woman's offspring would strike the head of the serpent The Old Testament Ark of the Covenant as a symbol of Mary Mary's fiat The wedding at Cana Mary at the cross The woman and the dragon in Revelation And more Fr. Mitch enlightens, clarifies, and challenges Catholics to a renewed devotion to the Blessed Mother, through whom we are drawn nearer to Christ. Call Brenda to register. REFLECTIONS Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time - The Ten Commandments gives us a list of rules to follow if we want to obey God. They are very simple and yet volumes have been written to explain what they mean. There is a level of comfort in having such a list. But then, Jesus comes along and says it all boils down to loving God and your neighbor. Doing the loving thing, treating people with love is not easy - some are just not very loveable! Still that is what we are to do. Pray for deeper understanding of what it means to love others and when examining your conscience, look at how well you have loved others. Love never does any wrong to the neighbor. hence love is the fulfillment of the law. - Romans 13:10 Reprinted with permission from S.T. Productions.
