How Do I
Become Catholic
We are here to help you on the journey to becoming Catholic and are excited for you to partake in the many blessings that come with it!
We offer a program specifically for those interested in joining the Catholic Church. It is called RCIA which stands for “Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults”.
Our parish priests will guide you along throughout this process, which has three main parts:
1) Initial Inquiry and Preparation, 2) Instruction and Formation and 3) Evaluation and Questioning
Please contact either Father John Norman or Father Kevin Vogel to discuss your interest by calling the Parish Grouping Office at 402-843-2345.
Learn About Vocations
Have you felt a certain stirring in your heart that you know you must investigate further? Has someone told you, “Have you ever thought about being a priest” or “Have you ever thought about being a nun”?
You want to put God first in your life and find out what His plan is for you but you don’t know where to begin.

Plan Funeral Services
The Church asks spiritual assistance for the departed, honors their bodies, and at the same time brings solace of hope to the living. The celebration of the Christian funeral brings hope and consolation to the living. While proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and witnessing to the Christian hope in the resurrection, the funeral rites also recall to all who take part in them God’s mercy and judgement and meet the human need to turn always to God in times of crisis.
Please contact the Parish Grouping Office to arrange funeral services at 402-843-2345.
Following the loss of a loved one, we encourage you to join our Grieving with Great Hope group. You will find warm, friendly faces to help you navigate through the sorrow.
Please contact Group Coordinators Karen Eischied at 402-843-5987 or Cheryl Veik at 402-843-8023 for more information.
