  The form of the Mass is much like the Extraordinary Form (or the "Traditional Latin Mass"), with a few extra prayers added. The biggest difference is that it is in an Elizabethan-style English. It is highly reverent and ceremonious. The organist is masterful, and the congregation, though numbering no more than 50 on Sundays, sings with GUSTO! These are people dedicated to right worship.
  
  They're also some of the friendliest Catholics I have ever met. When I first came, my hygiene could be best described as Medieval. Nevertheless they were very kind, and when they told me to improve my habits, they did so privately and kindly, without embarrassing me. They are very knowledgeable and witty. We love to share a pot of tea and a bottle of wine, hang out, and talk. Not to mention the events - Theology night almost every third Sunday evening of the month, Tea, Carols during Christmastide, the Friday pasta feeds, among other things.
  
  Moreover, these people are also dedicated to truth. Those of us who are not already dedicated Catholics are mostly converts who, through a painful process with the Episcopal Church, became part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church in the fullest sense. They know their faith; they had to.
  
  These guys are a fantastic lot. I hope and pray it will stay that way, and future generations will continue to make this parish the light on a hill it's been for me.

  During a trip to Omaha for CME training for my husband , I had been trying to attend daily Mass for a full week when I stumbled upon this Church. At first I wasn't sure if it was Catholic or not but I was drawn to it and mass was starting in 2 min so I went in. I found the mass form very different than your typical Catholic Mass. For a good while I was a little scared because I didn't want to offend but I was also very curious. It was beautiful and very reverent, once I started to get the hang of the extra prayers I really felt I was HOME!!!
  After Mass ended the priests invited all the parishioners and visitors for coffee and tea in the basement. I figured why not, I'm here and I have several more hours until my husband would be done with his training. So I went down to satisfy my growing curiosity, mind you I still was not 100% positive this was a Catholic Church.
  Full of question but not wanting to embarrass myself I sat and drank a small cup of tea from a real tea cup... this was a traditional tea time!! There were cakes, crackers, cheese and even brandy, I think it was brandy? Anyway I sat with a group of about 8 people for probably 2.5 hours talking about everything from religion to politics. I was the only guest but I swear I've never felt so welcomed in all my life. Of the 8 there were two seminarians and of coarse the priest.
  I learned that day the the Church of England also known as the Anglican Church allowed the priests who were already married to stay priests and continue celebrating the Mass. What a beautiful notion!!
  To sum things up!! This Church and it congregation are exemplary in every way. If you are ever in Omaha and you can make it to one of their Masses I highly recommend you do so. God directed my path to this Church and I hope I can do the same.
