Pastoral Planning at the Church of the Nativity
In order to better minister to the Catholic in our Pastoral Care Area (PCA), in 2026 the Church of the Nativity is revisiting its pastoral plan and discerning its future with an emphasis on putting the mission of the church first (Matthew 28:19).
A Town Hall was held on Thursday August 13, 2026 which was conducted by Rev. Christopher Seibt, the Vice Chancellor of the Diocese. Seventy-seven people attended to hear the presentation regarding our current status in the Diocese of Syracuse as well as in our parishes.
Please take a look at the resources below as a source of education on the state of the Catholic Church in our diocese as well as in our parished.
