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.

June is the Month of the Sacred Heart, in recognition of Jesus’ apparitions starting in 1673 to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, through whom He asked for devotion to His Sacred Heart. The symbols represented in the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus all have meaning. Read more here:

Pray without ceasing.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17
While praying without ceasing may seem like a daunting task, you can offer any act as a prayer. Offer your next hour of work for your family member or friend who is ill. Offer your morning workout for those suffering from cancer. Offer your drive home from work for your family. God gives us so many opportunities to pray and offer our good works as petition for ourselves and others.
The Summer session of TMIY! will focus on a review of a book called 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈: 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒖𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑶𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑫𝒐𝒐𝒓. We will learn together how to love God and love our neighbors in a very practical way. If we take the book to heart, we can change the world right here in the Midtown Catholic parishes.
That Man Is You! meets Saturdays at 6:00 am in the STM social hall. Breakfast is served on the first Saturday of every month. If you have any questions, please contact Jerry Hassett at 402-650-0360.
