The Parish of Our Lady of Nazareth
We the parish family of Our Lady of Nazareth, are united by our commitment of service to others as living witnesses of the life, death and resurrection of Christ as taught by the Scriptures and His example. We, who are called to be ministers, missionaries and priests covenant ourselves to the following:

  • Developing authentic and meaningful liturgical celebrations that praise God and intensify our faith.
  • To advance the physical, social and emotional well-being of the parish family and the human community by caring for the needs of the aged, poor, lonely, racially exploited, socially oppressed, helpless and suffering people.
  • To provide ample social activities so that we might develop as a parish family.
  • To provide continuous religious education and formation for all parish members.
  • To provide adequate physical surroundings, financial resources, and management to implement this covenant.

Little Rock Scripture Study

Little Rock Scripture Study is a wonderful way to gather around the Lord's Word; to become more and more familiar with the Scriptures, to meet a lot of great people and enjoy Christian fellowship!  Our next study will be First Corinthians.  The community of Corinth could easily be our own - struggling for unity in the midst of conflict, and discovering weaknesses and strengths.  In this study, Paul invites you to find unity in the Gospel message.  We meet on Wednesdays beginning September 8th.  Times are 10:00 am - 12:00 noon or 7:00 - 9:00 pm.  You can sign up by e-mailing Donna at sec.cf@oln-parish.com or by calling 774-0773.  Deadline for registration is August 20th.
