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

Midtown Catholic
Midtown Catholic is the combination of St. Thomas More and St. Joan of Arc. Our two parishes function as one community!
Today we honor St. Blaise, bishop and martyr, who is especially known for his care of the sick and for the blessing of throats—a sign of God’s protection and healing grace.
This weekend, Fr. Jindra will offer the Blessing of Throats after all Masses, invoking God’s mercy and care through the intercession of St. Blaise.
May we entrust our health and our lives to the Lord, confident in His loving kindness and healing presence.
St. Blaise, pray for us.
📣 Young adults, ages 21-40, who attend Midtown Catholic or are parents of students at DLA or STM are invited to a Lenten Bible Study!
