Watch Live-StreamA few reminders about attending Mass during this time
We believe that the Eucharist is the “source and summit” of our lives as Catholics. What an awesome gift that we experience in gathering as a community to hear the Word of God and to receive the Lord’s precious Body in Holy Communion! Many of you have returned to regular Mass attendance, while a good number have not yet. We are praying for you and hope that you will return feeling safe and comfortable. Below you will find a few reminders.
- The City of Omaha Mask Ordinance has expired and so we are no longer requiring masks to be worn while inside our buildings. We encourage everyone to continue wearing a mask as you feel comfortable when here at Saint Stephen the Martyr for Mass, prayer, and activities.
- All sections are open for seating. We encourage you to sit where you are comfortable. The 7:30 AM and 6 PM Masses are great alternatives for those interested in more space.
- The obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days does not bind those who are ill; if you are sick or think you may be sick, please stay home. Live-streaming continues for daily 8:15 AM Mass and Sunday 9 AM Mass.
- Offertorybaskets will be passed. We encourage you to consider utilizing Online Giving.
- For those wanting to receive Holy Communion on the tongue please go to the end of the Priest line.
- Distribution of Precious Blood remains omitted.

Get Involved in the Mass
Become a Liturgical Minister
The miracle of God’s physical presence to us at every Mass is the truest testament to Christ’s love for us and His desire for each of us to have a personal relationship with Him. Every liturgical celebration is an action of Christ the High Priest and of his Mystical Body, which is the Church. It therefore requires the participation of the People of God in the work of God. Get involved in this "service in worship"!

Experience God's Mercy: Peace, Joy, Relief and Love
"The Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the most unique and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ, in His abundant love and mercy, established the Sacrament of Confession, so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness for our sins and reconcile with God and the Church. The sacrament “washes us clean,” and renews us in Christ." - Catholics Come Home
