At Nativity Catholic Church, we believe mental health is part of our spiritual journey. Rooted in Christ’s compassion, we strive to build a caring community where every person finds hope, healing, and belonging through faith and support.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
We invite all parishioners to join us for our first Mental Health Awareness Ministry session on Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 6:00–7:30 PM at the Nativity Annex. The session will be offered in two rooms—one in English and one in Spanish. Please REGISTER to reserve your spot.
What is mental health ministry?
Attending to those who suffer from or are touched by mental illness in our community to provide hope, healing, support, and compassion.
Mental Health Ministry leaders do not take on the roles of health professionals, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists. Rather, they provide prayer, accompaniment, and human connections within parish communities. These lay ministers serve as prayerful companions for fellow parishioners experiencing mental illness, provide them with referrals, walk with them, and provide parish-wide education on mental health subjects.
