News and Information

Cathedral Plaza & Garden Project

With your help and participation, this once-in-a-generation project will become a new gathering space for our parish and for Catholics throughout the Archdiocese of Omaha.

Welcome Visitors

 

Thank you for your interest in Saint Cecilia Cathedral. Look around. It is a teaching space about our Catholic Faith. It is an experience of grace and glory. It is a stunning portrayal of the love of God. It is also a home to many people. Consider joining us.

One of the things that draws people into Saint Cecilia Cathedral is the beauty and grandeur of the building itself. Visitors are drawn to the towers on the hill and the amazing architecture; those gathered for liturgies or Archdiocesan events are engulfed within in the beauty of the religious symbols, art, and sculpture. These elements tell the story of our faith, and the history of Catholics in Nebraska. This lure of beauty, when earnestly engaged, leads us to the truth of our faith. And yet, the truth remains that there is nothing more beautiful than the celebrations (Masses) that happen here every day.

Guests come for the beauty; they stay for the truth.
