:: NEW DIOCESE-wide ANNOUNCEMENTS ::
From The Emmaus Institute comes a one-week (free!) course: The Mother of the Word: A Biblical study of Mary. It runs from June 21-June 25 from 9am-11am. Click HERE for details.
S.T.A.G.E. Student Theatre presents: It's Elementary, My Dear..., to be performed at the Pius Learning and Performing Arts Center, 6000 A street June 24-27.
This humorous musical mystery, performed by students 10-18 years, has several detectives on the hunt for Sheerluck Holmes who has gone missing inside Whyth Inn. Using feathery clues, the sleuths unravel the mystery while interviewing suspects who parody the famous Clueboard characters. Several musical numbers, dance, and a clever plot twist will keep the audience guessing, whodunnit! Following Luke 17:21, "The kingdom of God is within you", It's Elementary, My Dear... illustrates that our search for peace and communion with God is possible when we look "Whyth Inn". Performances are June 24, 25, 26 at 7pm, and June 27 at 2pm.
The performance, with intermission, is approximately 2 hours in length and family friendly (due to special effects, recommended ages 5 and up). Concessions will be sold to support S.T.A.G.E.
You may reserve prime online tickets at stage4kids.com, or purchase at the door. Prime seating tickets are $8 students/$10 Adults. General Back Section tickets are available at the door for $6 per seat.
For additional information, contact Lee Hotovy at 402/486-0462.

Two great summer events for YOUTH:
Our Diocesan Canoe Trip is open to high school youth and college students. Adults are also invited along as sponsors/drivers. Join us in a couple of lazy days along the Niobrara River, along with fellowship, Mass and a lot of fun! Hurry, because space is limited: July 11-13, 2021 [26 spots remaining] and July 13-15, 2021 [60 spots remaining] are the two options.
The Steubenville Conference is specialized to address the needs of today's Catholic youth. With an exciting lineup of speakers, musicians and presenters, the High School Youth Conferences challenge Catholic youth to stand firm in their faith, to rely upon the awesome power of Jesus Christ as their guide, friend and Savior, and to show them that faith to the world. Expect a high-energy youth conference where thousands of teens are invited to encounter Jesus Christ through dynamic speakers, engaging music, the Sacraments, small group discussions, and fellowship with other teens. Students entering 9th grade through just graduated Seniors are able to attend, but there are only 35 more spots remaining.
To register for either or both of these events, go to https://www.lincolndiocese.org/youth/youth-ministry .
