The Priesthood

You have a calling to serve. God has a loving plan for you.



The Archdiocese of Omaha would like to help guide you in your deeply personal journey to priesthood. Just as we provide a sense of belonging, purpose and fulfillment to all in search of Jesus’ love, we are also devoted to preparing men who will lead others to Christ through a priestly vocation.

God has placed in your heart a desire to be a priest. We will help you explore that desire as you pursue a rewarding, purpose-driven, faith-driven life in His name. If you have been searching for insight and guidance about your calling in this life and the vocation to the priesthood in particular, then you have a start.
