Parish Envisioning Plan
Our parish has partnered with Catholic Leadership Institute. For the next three years, with your help, we will be developing an Envisioning Plan to not only survive as a parish but thrive! Our pastor, Fr. Bell, has developed three Pastoral Priorities for our Envisioning Plan:
Priority 1: Spiritual Growth
Priority 2: Parish Engagement
Priority 3: Communication
We encourage our parishioners to join us on this walk towards a thriving parish. Your support and prayers are vital to carrying out our parish mission to be the Hands of Christ. Look for future updates on the Envisioning Plan in the Bulletin, on the website, and through email as well as other communications channels.

About Nativity BVM Parish
Located in the heart of Media, Pennsylvania, our parish serves the local community through acts of service and charity. Our parish mission and motto originated with a trip to Biloxi, Mississippi, to assist the residents after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. The retreat house we were staying at had not sustained a lot of damage, but there was an outdoor statue of Christ that had been knocked over by the storm. The hands had broken off. It was then that we realized we were to be the Hands of Christ in this devastated area. And so began our vision and mission of Nativity BVM Parish. We, as a parish, will be the hands of Christ living out our baptismal call to bring order out of chaos; to bring comfort and hope out of despair; to bring light out of darkness.
We invite you to join us in our mission!
