Deacon Larry Heck has been a Deacon for the Archdiocese of Omaha for over 40 years—serving at St. James Catholic Church for 20 years and here at St. Patrick Gretna for the last 21 years. We are so blessed to have had Deacon Larry here at St. Patrick Gretna for as long as we have!

His presence on the altar will be missed, but we are incredibly grateful for all that he’s done, and will continue to do in retirement, to minister to the community. We will host a formal retirement dinner to honor Deacon Larry on Friday evening, January 24. Parishioners are invited, but asked to RSVP to attend. More information coming soon.

It is truly unbelievable how many coats and winter gear items that were collected throughout November. Thank you for your generosity in keeping those in need warm this winter!

Also thank you to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Gretna, NE, Resurrection Evangelical Lutheran Church Gretna Nebraska, and Gretna United Methodist Church, Gretna Nebraska for working with our Gretna Knights of Columbus on this Winter Gear Drive.

As always, our parish is Blessed, and we show it!!❤️❤️

❤️ 🙏 for those in need.

As we prepare to receive Jesus into our hearts this Christmas, let us prepare spiritually by cleaning our souls through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We will offer additional times to receive this great sacrament of healing!

Thank you Father!

John the Baptists ministry prepared for the coming of the Christ. His followers were open to the preaching of the One anointed by the Spirit. His baptism of repentance prefigured the sacrament of baptism. His death prefigured the death of the Messiah. As the image of John pointed backward to Elijah, it pointed forward to Jesus.

As the year ends, we, too, look back to the past for comfort and reflection. But we look forward to the coming of One Greater. Let us take the time to Get ready. Take some time this week to review this year. What were your high and low points? Now, look forward to Christmas. How can you entrust the next year to the Lord?

Jesus is preparing many rooms in His Fathers house.
What kind of tiles does He want in it?

Oh man

While the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is usually a Holy Day of Obligation, Catholics of the Archdiocese of Omaha are dispensed from the Holy Day of Obligation on December 9 this year. Please do pray for our country on our national feast day. You can still join us for Mass at 7:30 AM or 6 PM on Monday, December 9.
What a blessing the generosity of this parish brings forth this time of year! Thank you to all who participated in bringing gifts for our Outreach Ministry/Forgotten Child Advent Giving Tree. Your generosity will bring smiles to so many families in need this Christmas!

We are Blessed and our parish shows it! Thank you for the good pictures!❤️

Today is Giving Tuesday, a national day to support your favorite organizations and nonprofits. Visit our parish website, stpatricksgretna.org, for ways to give!
The month of December is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Chosen before time to be the Mother of God Incarnate, Jesus Christ, God created Mary perfect and full of grace, preserving her from the stain of Original Sin. Mary Immaculate is the most beautiful fruit of the work of redemption accomplished by her Son, thereby making her the perfect model of holiness for all Christians.
Christ Jesus rules now in Heaven. He reveals His power and glory through us, His Church. He is present when we live with high moral standards and when we pray. He is present when we get out of the way and allow Him to reveal His power, with us, through us. How can faith turn your anxiety into anticipation? How can God give you hope?

Seriously? Very strange sense of humor.

A psalm of thanksgiving.
Shout joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
serve the LORD with gladness;
come before Him with joyful song.
Know that the LORD is God,
He made us, we belong to Him,
we are His people, the flock He shepherds.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name;
good indeed is the LORD,
His mercy endures forever,
His faithfulness lasts through every generation.
Psalm 100
