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
Midtown Catholic is the combination of St. Thomas More and St. Joan of Arc. Our two parishes function as one community!
Este fin de semana, nuestros niños de Dual Language Academy recibirán por primera vez a Jesús en la Eucaristía.
Es un momento hermoso y sagrado en sus vidas: recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo y comenzar una relación más profunda con Él.
Como comunidad parroquial, los invitamos a orar por estos niños y por sus familias. Que sus corazones siempre permanezcan abiertos a Jesús y que crezcan cada día en fe, amor y alegría.
Jesús, Pan de Vida, bendice a nuestros niños.

After searching for his path in life—trying success, comfort, and even life at court—St. Caesar de Bus ultimately dedicated his life to teaching the faith, especially to families. He believed that parents are the first and most important teachers of their children, and he helped pioneer what we now call family catechesis.
That same mission continues today. As we gather for Family Formation, we are reminded that faith is not just something learned in a classroom—it is lived, shared, and nurtured together.
So we ask ourselves: Where is the Lord calling you to serve?
Thank you to all of our families who are faithfully saying yes and walking this journey together.
St. Caesar de Bus, pray for us. ✝️
Welcome Home ✨
This Easter, we joyfully welcomed five new Catholics into the Church at Midtown Catholic.
Through the Sacraments, they have begun a new life in Christ—fully united with His Church and nourished by the Eucharist. What a beautiful reminder that the Lord is always calling hearts to Himself.
As a parish family, let us continue to walk with them. Please keep these new members of our community in your prayers—that they may grow in faith, remain rooted in Christ, and continue to encounter His love in a deeper way each day.
Welcome home. We are so glad you are here. ✝️
Yesterday, the Church celebrated 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲—a beautiful reminder of the endless mercy of Jesus.
Revealed through St. Faustina, this feast invites us to trust in Christ’s mercy and to extend that same mercy to others. No matter our past, no matter our struggles, Jesus meets us with love, forgiveness, and the promise of new life.
𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬, 𝐈 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮!
May we carry this message of mercy into our daily lives—receiving it with gratitude and sharing it with those around us.
We know life is BUSY… practices, homework, games, friends, everything.
But what if… you said YES anyway?
What if this is exactly what you need right now?
Night of Revival is not just another event, it’s a night to step away, have fun, be with your people, and actually encounter God in a real way.
✨ Games
✨ Good vibes
✨ A BIG surprise 👀
✨ And a chance to remember who you are and where you’re going
Your ultimate goal is Heaven. To become a saint.
So… how are you pursuing that right now?
Come take one step closer.
We want YOU there. It won’t be the same without you.
Sign up. Say yes. Let God move.
Thursday, April 9th youth from both St. Joan of Arc and St. Thomas More will be confirmed into the Catholic Church. We celebrate and pray for this powerful step in their journey of faith.
In Confirmation, they are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and strengthened to live as witnesses of Christ in the world. This is the beginning of a deeper calling—to live boldly, love faithfully, and share the Gospel with others.
Please join us in praying for these young men and women—that they may be open to the Holy Spirit, rooted in their faith, and courageous in living it out each day.
