Care & Support

We all suffer at one point or another. For those moments when you are hurting and need to talk, we are here.

We offer one-to-one, Christ-centered care, and support. Our parish staff and trained volunteers attentively listen, compassionately discuss, and confidentially move toward resolution (including external resource referrals, when necessary).

Whether you are journeying through grief, undergoing relationship issues, experiencing job loss/underemployment, encountering afflictions of mind, body, and soul, or just need someone to listen, we can help.

Contact Colleen Eusterwiemann, Pastoral Care Coordinator, at (402)861-4538 or the Parish Office at (402) 861-9675 (select option #2 after hours).

Food Pantry

Our Food Pantry is open to all in our parish family and the greater community who are in need.  We provide not only food items, but a listening ear and we ensure your dignity and confidentiality. If at any time, you are in need, call Colleen Eusterwiemann, Pastoral Care Coordinator, at (402)861-4538. We are always ready to open our doors!  With many Blessings!
