​Garden Club

​Do you have a green thumb or enjoy working outdoors? The Garden Club is a ministry dedicated to maintaining the beauty of our parish grounds, with a special focus on the gardens surrounding the front of the church and rectory. Volunteers help plant, weed, trim, water, and care for the landscape, creating a welcoming environment for all who visit. Whether you're an experienced gardener or simply enjoy helping, your time and talents are always appreciated.

Hospitality

​Share Hospitality. Build Parish Community.
Do you enjoy welcoming others and helping people feel at home? We are looking to establish a Hospitality Ministry to help plan and serve refreshments for our Hospitality Sundays and other parish events throughout the year. Whether you enjoy organizing, setting up, serving food, or simply offering a warm smile, there is a place for you in this ministry. Hospitality is one of the simplest yet most meaningful ways to build community and help others experience the welcoming spirit of our parish.

You don't need any special experience—just a willing heart and a desire to serve. Whether you can help occasionally or on a regular basis, we would love to have you join our team. Come share your gifts and help create a welcoming atmosphere where faith and fellowship flourish! Send us an email to [email protected] and we will connect with you!

Men's Group

Founded in September 2023, the Nativity BVM Men’s Group has grown into a welcoming community rooted in faith, fellowship, and service. Through monthly meetings, Gospel reflections, guest speakers, social events, and parish service projects, men support one another while growing closer to Christ.
The group meets on the third Monday of each month in the Brick Building and welcomes all men of the parish. Come build lasting friendships, strengthen your faith, and become an active part of our parish community.

The Middle

The Middle is a Nativity BVM ministry designed especially for Catholics in their 40s and 50s who are looking to deepen their faith while building authentic friendships. Whether you're single, married, raising a family, an empty nester, or somewhere in between, you'll find a welcoming community where you can relax, share meaningful conversation, and grow spiritually. Through casual gatherings, faith discussions, fellowship, and social events, The Middle offers an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with Christ while connecting with others navigating a similar stage of life. Come as you are and discover a place where faith and friendship meet.

Nature Walk

​Nature Walk with God invites parishioners to step away from the busyness of life and experience God's presence through the beauty of His creation. Join us for a peaceful morning of walking, prayer, spiritual reflection, and quiet conversation as we explore nature and deepen our relationship with the Creator. All are welcome—come refresh your body, mind, and spirit while discovering God's handiwork all around you.

Theology on Tap 40+

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 bulletin and on our parish website.

Seniors (​55+) Club

Our parish Seniors 55+ Club fosters friendship, faith, lifelong learning, and service. We offer a blend of spiritual, social, educational, and recreational activities.

We welcome adults age 55 and older to enjoy fellowship, strengthen their faith, and remain active in parish life. Through prayer, social gatherings, educational programs, service opportunities, and fun activities, members build lasting friendships while continuing to grow in their relationship with Christ.

Stitchers

Stitchers is a ministry which knits and crochets Prayer Shawls, Hats for the Homeless, Chemo Caps and Preemie Hats and Blankets.

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.
