Wherever you are in your faith journey, you are welcome at St. Stephen the Martyr. We believe that God has a reason for bringing you here at this moment in time. Join us for Mass, grow through our faith formation programs, and get involved in the work of our parish. There is a place for you here, always. No matter what turns life brings you on, Jesus is always waiting, ready to welcome you home.
We are one of the largest Catholic parish in Nebraska serving over 700 students in our School (PreK – 8 Grade), 500 youth in our Religious Education and Youth Ministry programs and over 3,900 families, plus many more through our Care and Outreach Ministries. Our community is always growing as we welcome new individuals and families. Here you’ll discover a spiritual family eager to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus.
The word “catholic” means universal, and that is really what the Catholic Church is – a universal body of believers, united in a message that is not it’s own, but comes from God’s self-revelation in Jesus Christ two thousand years ago, yet is ever-new and renewing as it is received, celebrated, lived and contemplated today. There are 1.2 billion Catholics, speaking every language located all over the world. We’d like to welcome you to our corner of the world, where lives are enriched through God’s love in the sacraments. Christ himself is the answer to all the world’s tribulations, encounter His deep love for you here at St. Stephen the Martyr.
Take the Parish Connection & Involvement Survey to let us know how you would like to get involved this year. We will reach out to you with options to use your gifts and talents moving forward.
The Becoming Catholic! RCIA program will help you deepen your relationship with Jesus by increasing your knowledge of the Catholic Church and Holy Scripture. This program will prepare you for full communion into His Church at the Easter Vigil.
