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
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!
You are the light!
Youth in grades 6th-12th are invited to join us Sunday, September 13 after the 4:30 PM Mass at STM for the first session of our Fall Youth Group Series entitled, "Be the LIGHT."
A historic moment for the Catholic Church in America is just a few weeks away! 🙏
On September 24, Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified at a special Mass in St. Louis, bringing him one step closer to sainthood.
Long before podcasts and social media, Archbishop Sheen recognized the power of modern communication to share the Gospel. Through radio and television, he brought the Catholic faith into millions of homes and became one of the most influential Catholic communicators of his time.
What a beautiful reminder that the tools we use to communicate may change, but our mission does not. We, too, are called to use the gifts and opportunities God has given us to share Christ with the world.
Do you have a new little one?
What a beautiful time to begin your child’s life of faith! Our next Baptism class at Midtown Catholic is September 14.
Learn more about Baptism and how to prepare by visiting our website or calling the parish office.
We look forward to welcoming the newest members of our parish family through the Sacrament of Baptism!
Theology Thursday is back! 🙌
Join us beginning Thursday, September 10 at 7 PM in the STM Café. This year, we’ll be watching The Chosen together and enjoying conversation and fellowship along the way.
Come for an evening of faith, community, and a deeper look at the life of Jesus. All are welcome!

We look forward to a wonderful year ahead!
