Arch. Synod What’s Your Opinion? As part of our participation in the Archdiocesan Synod 2021, Archbishop Hebda has invited Nativity of Our Lord parishioners to participate in the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) Survey. This survey is being conducted through each parish in the archdiocese February 1 - March 1 both online and through hard copy surveys. The survey encourages people to reflect on two main themes: individual spiritual growth, and engagement with the parish. To that end, the survey collects information on Attitudes & Beliefs, Relationships & Satisfaction, Participation, and Demographics. ALL INFORMATION COLLECTED IS COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL. NO INDIVIDUAL RESPONSES ARE EVER MONITORED. The results will be shared with Nativity so we can learn and understand the perspective of our parishioners and best support everyone in their discipleship journeys. They data will also be integrated with the work of our Synod Ambassador Team, which is a group of parishioners working as a group liaison to the Archdiocesan Synod, as well as the ongoing One Nativity 2035 planning effort. The information will also be utilized by the Archbishop as he discerns what focus areas to select this spring for the Synod. Parish Secretary — and 36-year marketing research vet — Tim Huberty will be coordinating the survey here at Nativity. Contact Tim for more information at [email protected] or (651) 696-5401. Pre-Synod Discussions In addition to the anonymous surveys, Archbishop Hebda wants to hear directly from all of you! Please prayerfully consider attending an upcoming Prayer and Listening Event with him as part of the Pre-Synod Process, and make your voice heard. Your input will help guide the Archdiocese over the next 5-10 years. There are 20 Prayer and Listening Events, including:
Tuesday, 1/28, 6–9pm at Pax Christi in Eden Prairie Saturday, 2/1, 9am–noon at St. Stephen, Minneapolis Saturday, 2/15, 9am–noon at Lumen Christi, St. Paul
More information is available at https://www.archspm.org/synod. Stay tuned for an update from the Nativity of Our Lord synod team in late winter.

Service Super Sock Sunday - February 1-2 Many homeless Minnesotans suffer dearly during the winter months. One item in particular is greatly appreciated — socks. The 6th-7th-8th Grade Nativity Social Justice Club is collecting new socks at all Masses next (Super Bowl) weekend. You will find collection boxes near each of the church doors. The collection for socks will continue through Friday, February 7, in a box just outside the school office. So when you are at the store picking up your Super Bowl snacks, please consider picking up a pack of socks, too. Thank you for your generosity and continued care for those in need!
