For many years students and faculty have found a spiritual home at Nativity of Our Lord. In the 1990s, the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee began asking the Assistant Pastors of the parish to provide leadership and direction for the growing University community.
In response to the increased needs of Catholic students, faculty, staff, and alumni a vibrant commitment was made to this ministry in 2012 by both the diocese and the parish. This commitment included the development of a pastoral plan to grow and sustain the faith of the entire University community.
In 2022 this commitment from the diocese and the parish is renewed as the ministry continues to grow and plan for an active and fruitful future.
Ultimately, our ministry is provided by the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee. Our Chaplain is appointed by the local Bishop and is entrusted to lead the ministry and form the students for a life of discipleship.
We are thankful for the generosity and cooperation of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church which has agreed to host our offices and events.
