Celebrate Good Times ~ Enroll Today at SMN!



“Through the Decades” Open House was a huge success despite the snowy weather.
Alumni from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘80s, and ‘00s enjoyed the artifacts from their decade.
They posed with their photo from the past.
One visitor saw a photo of his mom, ‘41, as a young girl for the first time!
Current students and their families went room to room gathering door prizes
and signing up for each room’s raffle.
New memories were made and old memories were remembered.

 


      





Celebrating Activities During Catholic Schools Week!



Wednesday after Mass, the students prayed the Glorious Mysteries of the rosary
for those discerning vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Thanks to Ms. Franzone and the 2nd graders for being such great prayer leaders. 

 


Guest Speaker, Fred Hafner, SMN Class of 1962, spoke to the students of Joliet and SMN history.
The differences of school when he was a student as now and the importance of our faith.
Mr. and Mrs. Hafner gave treat bags to the students!

 

Students ended the “Celebrate the Nation” day with red-white-blue popsicles.
Everyone was a winner even if they did not win at BINGO today.

St. Mary Nativity

Welcomes You

St. Mary Nativity Catholic Church is located on Broadway and Ruby Streets in Joliet, Illinois. In 1962, Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was established at St. Mary Nativity Catholic Church, encouraging parishioners and friends to come for prayer in the sacramental presence of the Lord.

We are open for prayer and Eucharistic Adoration from 8:00am to 4:30pm Monday through Thursday and Friday 8:00am to 3:00pm.

May our Blessed Mother Mary bring you to the Heart of her Divine Son Jesus!

Giving is an action of worship, Affection & Love for Jesus.
