About Nativity of Mary Catholic Church
Nativity of Mary was the first Catholic Church in Bloomington, Minnesota with the first mass held on November 9th, 1949. The Sanctuary we use today was built and dedicated by Archbishop John R. Roach on September 18th, 1980.
Today, about 1,200 parishioners give their time and talents in 60 different ministries. Nativity’s first priest, Father Martin Larkin, thought education was so important, the school was built before the church. Nativity of Mary School has been recognized as a School of Excellence and continues to attract top educators. The curriculum includes music, athletics, and foreign languages. It’s all taught with an emphasis on Christian values.
Nativity is well known for its welcoming atmosphere and its inclusion of all people. The parish loves to welcome new members to the congregation, particularly during the Easter Season when new Catholics join the church.
