Nativity Seniors (​55+) Club

2nd Tuesday of the month at 12pm (Brick Building)
​
Men and women who gather on a monthly basis both socially, spiritually and in the breaking of bread (brown bag lunches).  They have guest speakers come in and participate in bus trips. All 55+ parishioners are welcome.

Men's Ministry

We are launching a new men's ministry at Nativity BVM! Join us for our first meeting on Sunday, October 22, at Iron Hill Brewery in Media. 

Walking with Purpose

Are you interested in getting together with a group of women to explore your Catholic faith? Would you like to see how the Scriptures apply to your everyday life?
​
​If you do, we invite you to consider participating in Walking with Purpose! Walking with Purpose transforms the hearts and lives of women by providing Bible studies that enable women to know Jesus Christ personally by making Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church relevant and applicable.

​Young Family Fellowship

We invite all families with children (ages infant to 14) to participate in our Young Family Fellowship at Nativity BVM. Parenthood is a journey filled with joys and challenges, and we are here to support and bring together parents who share the same values and faith. We organize 8-10 social events annually where families can meet and grow in our faith together.

Young Adult Ministry

The Young Adult community at Nativity BVM in Media is a growing group of Catholics in their 20's and 30's whose mission is to live out the love of God and neighbor. What began with informal meetings at Theology on Tap each month has culminated in swing dances, service projects, movie nights, Holy Hours, Dining Under the Stars, and more. At Nativity BVM, young adults are encouraged to participate in all aspects of parish life, and so have a strong voice here. Newcomers are always welcome to young adult activities, whether they are parishioners at Nativity, members of different parishes, or other young adults looking for authentic friendships and a Christ-centered community. 

40+ Theology on Tap

Theology on Tap 40+ offers those who are 40 years or older the opportunity to gather together in a relaxed setting to enjoy a speaker's presentation, learn more about their faith, and to engage in meaningful conversation. Topics, dates and times are published in the Weekly Bulletin and on the Website.

​Knights of Columbus

We meet on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm
(Brick Building or Parish Center)

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men’s fraternal society committed to strengthening members in their faith, strengthening family life, supporting the clergy, and serving the parish and community.

​Nativity Stitchers
