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.

Midtown Catholic
Midtown Catholic is the combination of St. Thomas More and St. Joan of Arc. Our two parishes function as one community!
In today's Gospel, we hear Jesus tell us that He is the 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝. Throughout John's Gospel, we hear seven different "I Am" statements to help us understand who Jesus is. Learn more about these statements at the link below. Take some time to contemplate how Jesus is your 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝.

This Easter season, during the weekend Masses as well as daily Masses, we hear from the 𝐆𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧.
.
This week is 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝟔 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, which is some of Jesus' most direct teaching about His True Presence in the Eucharist.
.
In today's Gospel, Jesus is leading into 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 by reminding those listening of the miraculous bread that was sent from Heaven to the Israelites as they wandered in the desert. The Jews in attendance would know well this history in the Torah. They would have understood that this manna was a gift from God, just as the Eucharist is to us.
