SPEAK LORD
Women’s Retreat – January 15-16 (Friday evening and Saturday morning)
Enjoy fellowship, guided prayer, testimonies, and more. In addition to guest speakers and musicians, you’ll hear from many women of our own Midtown Catholic community.
Together, we’ll reflect on the tender care of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and learn to recognize His voice in our daily lives.
Not a member of Midtown Catholic? No problem. Visitors are welcome too!
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.
St. Joan of Arc
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
(opens in a new tab)Midtown Catholic is the combination of St. Thomas More and St. Joan of Arc. Our two parishes function as one community!
Heavenly Father,
We lift up Father Pietramale to You, asking for Your healing grace to surround him. Restore his strength, renew his health, and grant him complete healing in body, mind, and spirit. Give him patience and peace throughout his recovery, and guide those caring for him with wisdom and compassion.
Through the intercession of our Blessed Mother, may he feel Your loving presence each day and return to full health.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏
🎤 Karaoke night at Midtown Catholic! 🎶
Recently, we transformed the St. Thomas More Media Center into a karaoke lounge for our Youth Ministry social, and what a fun night it was!
There was plenty of music, laughter, and great fellowship as our youth took turns at the microphone and enjoyed spending time together.
We love seeing our young people build friendships and make memories through our Midtown Catholic community. Thanks to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success! ❤️
Enjoy a few photos from the fun!
All are invited Sunday, November 8th between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM for all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, coffee, and juice. Your free will offering will to toward pro-life causes supported by the STM Knights of Columbus.

🎄 As we look ahead to the season of Advent, we invite you to begin thinking about how you might share the joy of Christmas with someone in need.
In the coming weeks, Giving Trees will be set up at both St. Thomas More and St. Joan of Arc, offering our Midtown Catholic parish family a beautiful opportunity to extend Christ's love and generosity to others in our community.
As we prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus, we encourage you to prayerfully consider participating in this special tradition. For those facing difficult circumstances, a simple act of kindness can be a powerful reminder that they are loved, remembered and not alone.
Watch for the Giving Trees to appear at each parish soon, along with more information about how you can help.
May this Advent season inspire us to open our hearts to those who need it most. ❤️

Today, on the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, we pause to remember and pray for those who have gone before us.
All Souls Day is a beautiful reminder of our Catholic belief in the communion of saints and the importance of praying for the souls in Purgatory as they are prepared for the fullness of heaven.
Today, we remember our parents, grandparents, spouses, children, friends, and fellow parishioners who have passed away. Though we miss their presence here on earth, we entrust them to the infinite mercy and love of God.
We invite you to take a moment today to pray for your departed loved ones, especially those who may have no one else to pray for them.
