We are happy to announce the next cycle of Archdiocesan Eucharistic minister (EMHC) and lector formation is now available. These two ministries are offered to adults and youth entering into their junior year of high school and up.

If you are already a mandated EMHC or lector but received your training in a different diocese, review of the current videos from the Omaha Archdiocese must be completed as well. All new EMHCs and lectors over the age of 19 must be Safe Environment certified before they can begin their ministry - they may complete training and become mandated, but they MUST complete Safe Environment training before they can sign up.

The formation process consists of a combination of online Archdiocesan videos, which can be completed in the comfort of your own home at your own pace, and in-person tutorials at the parish level.

As always, eligible candidates must:

  • Be fully initiated, meaning they have been Confirmed 
  • Be practicing Catholics 
  • Be in good standing with the Catholic Church 
  • Be affiliated with a parish 
  • Demonstrate responsibility and commitment to service 
  • Be at least a rising junior in high school 

If you are interested in either of these ministries or would like more information regarding them, please contact the rectory at 402-291-1350 or Father Del Lape at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
