Faith
The mission of the Archdiocese of Omaha is rooted in a shared belief in our Catholic faith, beliefs that have held strong for more than 2,000 years. Belief in one God who sent his son to save us from sin. Belief that baptism cleanses us so that we may live forever with God our Father.

Find A Parish
A parish is first and foremost a community of Catholic Christians—a place where we gather to celebrate the sacraments, volunteer our time, and share life with one another.
Together, our parishes form a large Catholic family that goes back generations in Nebraska. As early as 1838 when the Jesuit missionary Peter De Smet celebrated Mass in what is now Bellevue, to later in 1856 when Father Edmonds celebrated Mass at St. Mary in downtown Omaha—the first established Catholic Church in the Nebraska territory—our parishes all share a common history.
Annulments
Getting Started
First, we ask that you read this document: Getting Started. Then, please consider contacting your parish priest or deacon, or one of our Annulment Sponsors. If you prefer to work directly with our Tribunal–which you are free to do, but which we strongly recommend that you do not do–compose a petition and begin gathering the required documentation, as noted in the “Outline of Petition for a Formal Case” (see below).

Couples most benefit from marriage preparation if their FOCCUS facilitation and CEE retreat or MAJ workshop are completed 6 months prior to their wedding day. Please plan ahead so that you have ample time to complete your preparation for this beautiful vocation.

What We Believe
The Profession of Faith is a great place to start when trying to understand what we, as Catholics, believe. We say the prayer every Sunday. The words become so ingrained that as we recite it we sometimes stop thinking about what the words mean. This prayer reinforces the foundation of our Catholic beliefs – beliefs held strong for more than 2,000 years. Here’s what we believe:
- We believe in one God who created all things on earth and in heaven.
- We believe that God sent his only son to save all of us from sin. Jesus’ mission was to become man, suffer and die for us, and rise from the dead so we can live eternally with God, his Father.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit, united with the Father and the Son, inspired those who came before us long ago and continues to guide us with grace today.
- We believe we are part of the larger family of Catholics all over the world.
- We believe that baptism saves us from sin and cleanses us so we may live forever with God our Father.

A Message from Archbishop
Grace and Mercy
Archbishop Lucas has retained the phrase “GRACE AND MERCY.” This phrase is an excerpt from the Book of Wisdom (Wis. 3:9), which reads in full: “Because grace and mercy are with His holy ones, and His care is with His elect.” By the use of this phrase, therefore, His Excellency expresses the deep and profound Christian belief that in and through Jesus Christ, God gives to all of His Children all that they will need to sustain them on their life’s journey and to bring them to full life in heaven.
