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

Sometimes it is not in your words that you share Jesus, but in your actions. When we act with care and consideration, we share the love of Jesus. Spending time with your friends, showing God's love, can open up the opportunity to talk about faith.

An easy way to evangelize is simply to pray. Pray for people you know for conversion of heart, and even those you don't know. Ask God to be present to them and give them opportunities to experience His love.
Everyone please lift up an OUR FATHER for the people in Florida as Hurricane Milton is bearing down. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Our Gospel reading today comes from Luke 11. What a great prayer for us to say too: "𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲!" Sometimes we find it hard to pray. We can't find the time or we can't find the words. If nothing else, pray as Jesus taught and say the 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓. Many saints through the years have commented on the power and simplicity of this prayer given to us by Jesus.
.
Saint Andre Bessette said, “When you say the 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, God’s ear is next to your lips.”
.
Saint Teresa of Ávila said: “Much more is accomplished by a single word of the 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 said, now and then, from our heart, than by the whole prayer repeated many times in haste and without attention.”
.
Even the Virgin Mary in her apparition at La Salette had this to say about finding time to pray: "When you can do no more, say an 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 and a Hail Mary; and when you have the time to do better, you will say more.”
