Thank you, Nativity! | Faith & Blue Weekend

The 2023 National Faith & Blue Weekend was October 6–9 under the theme “Building Bridges to More Inclusive Communities.”  As part of the nation’s largest annual collaborative policing initiative, National Faith & Blue Weekend facilitates safer and stronger communities by engaging law enforcement officers and local residents through the connections of faith-based organizations. Faith & Blue is based on the premise that strong communities are built through mutual respect and understanding. Law enforcement and faith institutions are key pillars of each community, and when they work together, neighborhoods thrive.

Thank you, Nativity!

From PFC Liam May, Community Outreach Officer, West Springfield District Station:

“On behalf of the West Springfield District Station, I want to extend a huge thank you from all the police officers here. They were amazed by the generosity of Nativity Catholic Church and could not believe how much food and drinks were donated. I believe that this may have been one of the biggest snack donations we have ever received at the station, and we can’t thank you enough for your faith community’s support.”

“Faith and Blue Weekend is built on the premise that, by the police and faith community working together, we can create a stronger and safer community. We hope to continue our strong relationship with Nativity Catholic Church, so please know that we are here for you and encourage you to reach out anytime with any questions or concerns.”

Support Your Local Police Station

Nativity Parish supports the local West-Springfield Police Station and is part of their ecumenical Police and Faith Community, with Joe Tiago on the planning committee.  The committee planned the 1st Annual Police and Faith Leadership Gathering to be held at the West Springfield District Station on October 4, 2023.  Faith community leaders from over 70 houses of worship will gather to share resources, create relationships, and connect with the Fairfax County Police Department.

On October 2-8, Nativity Catholic Church collected appreciation letters, breakfast goods, and snacks to support our West-Springfield Police Station.  Thank you for your generosity!
