Nativity of the Lord Jesus Catholic Church is participating in a project called Thriving Congregations put on by Vibrant Faith Ministries. The project is funded through grants from the Lily Endowment, Inc. There is no cost to Nativity to participate in this project.
The objective of the project is to equip churches to help their congregation thrive by strengthening ministries that help parishioners deepen their relationships with God, enhance their connections with each other, and contribute to the flourishing of their communities and the world.
Nativity is one of 30 churches in 7 cohorts across the United States that Vibrant Faith will be working with for four years to help parishes thrive through a focus on whole-life faith formation. Our cohort is made up of our church and 4 other parishes in the Diocese of Cleveland (the only Catholic Cohort), listed below:
We are being guided through this process by a Vibrant Faith Coach, Jane Angha, who will accompany and guide us through the process for the next several years.
