Symphony Concert: October 10 & 11

We are excited to announce a Symphony Cathedral concert in collaboration with the artistry of the Omaha Symphony, the renowned St. Cecilia Cathedral Choir, and the Cathedral’s landmark Martin Pasi pipe organ. Curated by musicians Susanna Perry Gilmore, Brett Hodge, and Marie Rubis Bauer, this series showcases Baroque music in St. Cecilia’s glorious acoustics.

October 10 & 11 – Symphony Cathedral Baroque: Handel’s Water Music: An abundance of music by England’s favorite adopted composer, George Frideric Handel, flows throughout this program anchored by selections from all three Water Music suites. In between, thrill to the splendor of St. Cecilia Cathedral’s Pasi Organ and the “velvet-toned” baritone Edward Vogel (BBC Music Magazine), performing powerful arias from Agrippina, Jeptha, and Messiah.

Tickets are $35.

Scheduling a Mass Intention:

One of the greatest acts of charity is to pray for the living and the dead, and the greatest and most powerful prayer we have is the Mass since the fruits of the Mass are the very fruits of Jesus’ redemption.

Since St. Cecilia Parish has many requests for Mass intentions, the following policy is being implemented to accommodate them in a reasonable and fair manner. We deeply appreciate everyone’s cooperation to ensure that more families are able to request Masses for their loved ones. 

• Mass intentions may be requested for a deceased or living person, a family, a special occasion. 

• Mass intentions may be requested for Sundays, most holidays, and weekdays throughout the year. 

• All requests will be honored in the order in which they are received at the Administration Office. You may make your request by calling the office, stopping by the office, emailing or mailing it to the coordinator. 

• Requests will be granted as close to the requested date and time as possible. If it is not possible to comply with the primary request, the next closest date and time will be scheduled. 

• A Mass can be scheduled for an individual once per month. 

• Twelve Mass intentions per individual intention can be set up for a calendar year. Two of those Masses may be scheduled for a Saturday vigil Mass or Sunday morning Mass. The other requests need to be at a weekday Mass. 

• Masses may only be scheduled 12 months in advance from the date of request. We cannot accept Mass intentions for more than one year in advance because Canon Law requires us to fulfill the intention within a year. 

If a funeral gets scheduled at the time of an intention, you will be notified, and the intention will be rescheduled for the next available opening. 

There can only be one intention per Mass time.

One Mass every Sunday and holy day must be scheduled for Saint Cecilia parishioners.

The typical offering per Mass intention is $10. This goes to the priest who celebrates the Mass.
