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.

While this may appear like a play, it is not a performance, it is a time of prayer for all involved.
We are seeking students in grades 5th-12th for speaking and non-speaking parts. There will be 10 rehearsals on Wednesday or Thursday evenings leading up the presentations on Friday, April 11, Sunday, April 13, and Wednesday, April 16. Please contact the office to express interest and receive the rehearsal schedule. Commitment is crucial.
✞ Please prayerfully consider if this is something you and your family can commit to this Lent! ✞
Gracious Father, every good and perfect gift comes from you. Please send your Holy Spirit to guide our students. You said that your Spirit will teach all things and guide all to truth. Give our students wisdom and understanding in everything they do.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

It is no coincidence that we celebrate the 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐲 on the 1st of January. She is our Blessed Mother too. As such, we have the amazing opportunity to invite her intercession for our intentions and the coming year.

Start the new year right, and invite the Virgin Mary to pray with and for you!
Celebrate the Christmas Season! It's not over!

For most people, December 26th means that Christmas is over. But for the Catholic Church, it means the celebration has just begun! We are about to rejoice in a long celebration of the birth of Christ, the Messiah.

The Christmas season, also known as Christmastide, lasts 40 days. It begins with Christmas Eve, and ends on February 2nd, with Candlemas, which is the day on which we celebrate the feast of Jesus' presentation in the temple.
