St. Thomas More Eucharistic Adoration
Mary deTurris Poust wrote for the Sunday Visitor Newspa-per: "Adoration allows us to find Our Lord in the quiet, away from the world and hidden from our senses. It provides a much-needed counterbalance to the fast-moving, self-focused ways of the world."

Founded at the invitation of the Omaha Archdiocese and now in its 9th year, Seeking Truth Catholic Bible Study is taking registrations
for fall classes on LUKE: The Gospel of Mercy. St. Luke wrote the greatest number of words in the New Testament. Experi-ence what a prolific writer he was, so full of the Holy Spirit. He was the only evangelist to write the Virgin Mary’s story in his infancy narratives. Only Luke has the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan and numerous others. Sharon Doran’s lec-tures are highly visual and fast paced with discussions led by well-trained leaders. Give it a try, but don’t wait to sign up, it fills up quickly. Thursday DAY class (@St. Leo’s 1 P.M.) and Thursday EVE class (@Creighton Prep 7:30 P.M.) as well as individual on-line learning and FREE Parish Programming for those who would like to start up a Seeking Truth class in their own parish setting. LIVE classes begin on Sept 6th 2018
