The Sacrament of Anointing within the Mass is available to all those who are chronically ill, advanced in age, overly burdened with the struggles of life and even children who suffer from illness. The entire community is invited and encouraged to pray and support the sick of our parish.

This book recounts the history of St. John’s Church on the Creighton University campus from its founding by Sarah Emily Creighton and the early Jesuits to today’s “parish of choice” for people throughout the Omaha area and Creighton students. It includes tours of this Omaha Landmark and its windows.
But St. John’s is, above all, a community of extraordinary people. The book highlights the historic contributions of many of them as well as recounting stories from parishioners about their experiences with the parish in everything from education, music and weddings to our relationship with our sister Jesuit parishes on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
Together St. John’s members say “We Belong Here.”
