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.

Advent is a season of preparation—of making room in our hearts for Christ. Reconciliation is a powerful way to let go of sin, receive God’s mercy, and start fresh in His grace. Come experience the peace and freedom that Confession brings as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Today we don’t celebrate Jesus’ conception, but Mary’s—the moment her life began in the womb of her mother, St. Anne. Ancient Christian tradition tells of Joachim and Anne’s deep sorrow at being childless, their prayer and fasting, and the joy of the angel’s message: God had heard their cries, and the child to come would be known throughout the world.
In Mary’s Immaculate Conception, God quietly prepared a pure dwelling place for His Son. From the first moment of her existence, Mary was preserved from sin, not by her own power, but by the grace of Christ who would one day be born of her.
Today, we can bring our own “barrenness” to the Lord—our disappointments, delays, and places that feel fruitless—and trust that God is already at work in hidden ways.
Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
