Upcoming Events

Wanted: lay adults open to formation in the Spiritual Exercises and creating an ongoing community of practice.

The Ignatian Associates, started by the Jesuits over 25 years ago, are lay communities carrying on the Catholic Ignatian mission in everyday life.

The Omaha community is intergenerational, married and single, living throughout Omaha, united through our ongoing formation and practice of Ignatian spirituality. Ignatian Associates attend any parish in Omaha and see IA as a complement to parish life.

If you feel any nudge to explore what a deeper, lay-led, practice of the faith might offer to your faith journey, join us for an information session, Sunday, May 3, from 9:15-10:15 at St. John's Parish on the Creighton Campus in the Lower St. John's Conference Room.

St. John's offers Mass beforehand at 8:00 a.m. or after at 10:30 a.m. For more information, click the QR code or email LisaKellyIA@gmail.com

All are welcome to the upcoming Be Not Afraid Family Holy Hour.

Theme: St. Joseph The Worker
Reflection: Like St. Joseph, God created us to be creative, to be our contribution to His world. Anything that we do for the Lord will be more abundantly benefited back to us. This hour includes the recitation of the Rosary and availability of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Discover a close-knit community and grow in your relationship with Christ.

Nazareth groups are small gatherings of individuals within our parish community. They meet once a month in a member's home, share a meal, pray together, and form lasting relationships.

These ongoing groups are intended to promote a deeper sense of belonging and encourage one another along life's journey of faith. The groups offer a supportive and safe environment where members can share their experiences and grow in their personal faith.

Join us for our "Come & See" event on Tuesday, May 5, from 6-8 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Come and learn about Nazareth Groups while you experience the joy of fellowship and friendship. RSVP to Tina - call or text 402-214-1255.

Join archivist Nick Manhart as he walks you through the remarkable ascent and ultimate demise of Rev. Robert Schuller’s famous Crystal Cathedral and 34-acre campus in Southern California. Learn how, through the professional design consultation of the late Brother William Woeger of Omaha, it was transformed into Christ Cathedral, the episcopal seat for 1.3 million Catholics of the Diocese of Orange, California, dedicated in 2019.

Through historical records, photographs, diagrams, and both first-person and in-person reconnaissance, Nick will bring to life this remarkable story of physical and spiritual conversion… how an iconic Protestant megachurch became a beacon of light and sanctuary of Catholic worship.

All are invited as we welcome newly appointed Bishop Ralph O’Donnell, originally from the Archdiocese of Omaha, to our Feast Day celebration on May 25, 2026.

The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church is nestled in the hills, west of the Lake of the Ozarks.

Over the years the shrine has grown from those first ideas in the 1980s into a beautiful shrine, which can accommodate around 6,000 people for each outdoor Mass.

We echo the invitation of Christ, “Behold your Mother.” Come and experience the peace and beauty of the shrine. Come and be enveloped by the love of your Heavenly Mother. Let your heart be touched by her tenderness. Receive the graces she wants to shower on you. Allow her to lead you into deeper relationship with her son.
