Those attending the 7:30 Mass may have been surprised to see Archbishop Lucas there. He was here as we hosted the Omaha Chapter meeting of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. (Hear his homily here.)
Breakfast was served through the help of the Knights of Columbus and our youth who helped serve as well.
At this gathering of the Omaha District Council parishes throughout the diocese were represented.
Fr. Damian spoke to the group:
As did Archbishop Lucas:
The Kampschneider family was recognized with the Top Hat award. Besides Mary Jo being a past president of the St. Columbkille chapter, there entire family does a remarkable job with the Use it Again sale. They gather items throughout the year and fill their garage with items as thousands of dollars are raised each year.
Arlene Mayberger of St. Leo's parish also received the Top Hat award. Arlene was recognized for her contribution as she not only helps people get the help they need, but assists them so they won't need help in the future.
Congratulations to the
Top Hat award recipients.
