The Mission of St. Mary Catholic Church is to worship, serve, and build communion in Jesus Christ, with Mary our Mother and guide.

We live our Mission by being proactive stewards of our parish.  It is our Vision, then, to provide leadership and governance that effectively manages the activities of our parish.

Our Vision for worshiping Jesus Christ includes praying together as a parish, learning about our Faith, celebrating with wonderful music, and receiving our Sacraments within a beautiful church.

Our Vision for serving Jesus Christ includes many ministries that allow parishioners to serve our Lord and to serve the parish.  It also means that we proactively serve one another to support and assist each other with the needs we may have.  Finally, serving also entails having a community presence that is unique to the downtown Lincoln area.

Our Vision of building communion with Jesus Christ focuses on our communion with one another as people of faith.  We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere and we make an effort to form bonds with one another as adults and among our youth by choosing to spend time with one another via parish events, as well as by creating opportunities to engage with each other outside of church. When we invite the Holy Spirit to be among us as a group of Catholics, we are strengthened in our faith and in our communion with Jesus Christ and with each other.

We actively seek the assistance and guidance of our Blessed Mother Mary as we endeavor to make her Son, Jesus, the center of our parish and of our lives. And all that we endeavor to do, we do it with the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit—in this way we aspire to holiness.

Our Apostolic Leadership Council meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 pm.   The meetings are open to the public.  We hope to see you there!
