A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PARISHES
We are Called to More
We are inviting all parishioners of St. Joan of Arc and St. Thomas More to recommit to their Catholic faith through daily prayer and the intercession of Our Blessed Mother. Watch the video below to learn more and watch our communications channels in the coming weeks for ways to deepen your family’s walk with the Lord.
Our Mission
Midtown Catholic is a community of two parishes in the Archdiocese of Omaha.
We are One Church: Encountering Jesus, Equipping Disciples, Living Mercy, Sending Apostles.
Parish Locations
Both St. Joan of Arc and St. Thomas have proud histories. About a seven minute drive from one another, both parishes were founded in the early 1960s. As neighborhood parishes they both grew as the neighborhoods grew filling with young families.
As the neighborhoods change so do the parishes. Now in a new season of life, St. Joan of Arc and St. Thomas More, are committed to work together to continue the mission. In the summer of 2020, the parishes began a partnership of sharing a pastor, ministries, maintenance, Mass schedule, and mission. The parishes use the name “Midtown Catholic” to describe this partnership.

3122 S. 74th St
St. Joan of Arc Parish was founded in 1958 and has been serving the Catholic community of central Omaha ever since. Parishioners are dedicated to community outreach and host a number of parish events, including the annual Sausage Fest.

Midtown Catholic
Midtown Catholic is the combination of St. Thomas More and St. Joan of Arc. Our two parishes function as one community!
All are invited to attend Mass at 5:30 PM on Saturday, March 7 at St. Joan of Arc, celebrated by Archbishop Michael G. McGovern. Following Mass, join us in the SJA Cafe for a soup supper put on by the Knights of Columbus.
Today we honor St. Katharine Drexel, the second American-born saint canonized by the Church. With great courage and generosity, she dedicated her life to providing quality education—especially for Native American and African-American communities in the western United States.
Her legacy lives on here in Nebraska through the founding of St. Augustine Indian Mission in Winnebago, a lasting witness to her belief in the dignity of every person and the transforming power of faith-filled education.
St. Katharine Drexel, pray for us and for our schools.
We have two very special Lenten opportunities for you this week!
📌 Friday enter deeply into the Stations of the Cross with Donna Cori - Catholic Music & Sung Prayers through music, video, and prayer.
📌 Saturday join Archbishop Michael G. McGovern for Mass at 5:30 PM at SJA and stay after for a soup supper.
𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏.
This passage from Gen 3:19 is used every year on Ash Wednesday as ashes are distributed.
During Lent, we remember our mortality, that we will each return to the earth. But when we stay close to the Lord, and show repentance, we will rise again with him.
Join us March 6 at 6 PM at STM for a powerful and engaging Way of the Cross with Donna Cori - Catholic Music & Sung Prayers!
Presented by Donna Cori, this powerful and prayerful journey invites you into an intimate walk with Christ through song, scripture, and video—drawing from the wisdom of the saints and leading hearts deeper into the Passion of Jesus.
After years of working in New York as a professional, singer, songwriter, and studio musician, Donna now lives in the Midwest, far from the secular scene. A lay Carmelite since 1999, Donna's Music is focused on prayer and explaining the truths of the Catholic Church with Scripture.
