Welcome!

Dear Parishioners 

Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church has opened up for mass again but at the direction of the Nebraska Governor and Bishop Joseph Handfeldt as the Covid-19 panemic is increasing, I'm appealing to all parishioners to please follow the restrictions when you gather at church: Maintain social distance and Wear mask always!!, we have already blocked off every other pew. The missalettes will not be used. Readings can be found in the bulletin. There will be no Alter Servers and carrying of the gifts until notified. 

If you do not feel comfortable attending church, but would like a bulletin please call the parish office and let Marie or Michelle know you would like to have a bulletin mailed to you. The bulletins can be found in the back of church or on the table next to the Chapel door. The bulletin can also be found on this website, our Facebook page, and our Parish App. 

 Our Masses are still weekly at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at 5:00 p.m.  and Sunday at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.  We will continue to live stream Mass at 10 a.m. on Sunday on Facebook for parishioners that are not able to attend Mass yet. 

We still encourage our parishioners to mail your weekly contribution envelopes to our parish office, or set up online donations. If you are able to attend Mass there will be a place at the entrance of church to place your contribution in.
