About Our parish Family

Journey of Faith Prayer
Lord and Giver of Life,
we ask for your guidance
as we journey to discover your plan
for our parishes and schools.
Change can bring about great excitement;
it can also be the source of anxiety and fear.
Help us to move forward with faith, courage and confidence.
Give us open minds and clarity
as we discern your will for a promising future.
May Jesus, the constant companion of the Church since Pentecost,
help us to accept the challenges of loving service
in new and invigorating ways.
May Mary, Mother of the Church,
encourage our efforts to listen and learn.
In the beginning, you hovered over the waters,
giving birth to your plan for creation.
You were present to the People of Israel,
speaking to them, teaching them,
and guiding them. Be present with us now,
and give us your light to see the way. Amen.
 

The Holy Apostles Parish Family is a collaboration of 12 parishes located in the northeast corner of the Archdiocese of Omaha in Nebraska. The parish family was formed in 2023 in response to the Archbishop of Omaha, George Lucas's call to form missional communities to serve the needs of the people in the Archdiocese of Omaha. The twelve parishes chose the family name of Holy Apostles to reflect the coming together of twelve unique parishes, just like the twelve apostles, to follow Christ and carry out his ministry. 
The Holy Apostles Parish Family is made up of 12 parishes and 2 schools.
The Holy Apostles Parish Family shares three priests and one collaborative parish family office.
The Holy Apostles Parish Family collaborates on religious education and adult faith formation and supports the ministry shared between the communities served by the family.
