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!
This Sunday, we will hear another one of the seven "I Am" statements from the Gospel of John. This time Jesus describes himself as the vine and we are the branches. How can you ensure your branch stays connected to the True Vine?
Today is the Feast Day of St. Mark the Evangelist. The Gospel reading for today comes from the very last chapter of Mark. Just before Jesus ascends to Heaven, He gives the 11 the universal mission that is also ours today: 𝑮𝒐 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆.

May we remember today and always that this is our calling too...

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.
