How We Incorporate Faith

Faith at the Heart of Every Day

At Sts. Peter and Paul, children pray together daily, learn about God’s love, serve others through meaningful projects and celebrate Mass regularly as a school community.

The Catholic faith shows in the friendly ways students treat each other and the open conversations you overhear in the classrooms.

SPP is a place where students learn to live their faith – and to be proud of it.

A Note from Our Pastor

Dear families,

Welcome to Sts. Peter and Paul! As pastor, I witness the blessings that come from a strong Catholic education. When I visit the school, I see students who are curious, joyful and growing in faith and knowledge all the time. I also see the strength of a community that honors its traditions and supports families from diverse backgrounds.

Whether you are new to South Omaha or have called this neighborhood home for generations, please know that your children, your family are welcome here. I invite you to visit our school, join us for Mass or reach out with any questions.

God bless your and your family,

Fr. William Bond Pastor

How Students Explore Their Faith

  • Faith Activities at SPP

    Prayer and Reflection: Students see Catholic art and symbols all throughout the school, as well as read scripture and practice both traditional and spontaneous prayer.

    Sacramental Preparation: School staff help prepare students for their special Sacraments, including First Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation. Over the years, many students and staff have desired to become Catholic, and we can support anyone who wants to explore Baptism into the Catholic Church.

    Service Projects: The Sts. Peter and Paul community works closely with nearby organizations, such as Mater Filius, The Stephen Center and more on service projects throughout the year, in addition to food drives.

  • Faith Life at SPP

    St. Joseph the Worker: St. Joseph the Worker is a powerful example for our Sts. Peter and Paul School community. Honored in both Croatian and Mexican traditions, he reflects the rich cultural heritage of our families and reminds us of the dignity of work, humility and faithful service. As a carpenter, St. Joseph shows our students that everyday work—done with love and responsibility—is a way to serve God and others. By studying his life, our students learn that holiness can be lived out through family, perseverance and trust in God, no matter where we come from or what we do.

    Fr. Jamrog visits Sts. Peter and Paul School classrooms each month to connect with students and support their learning. During these visits, Fr. Jamrog spends time talking with students, answering questions and reinforcing the values of faith, curiosity and respect. These regular classroom visits help build strong relationships and show students that their growth—both academic and spiritual—is important to our school community.

    The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, celebrated on December 12, is a special day for the Sts. Peter & Paul School community. We honor Mary’s appearance to St. Juan Diego and her message of love, compassion and hope for all people. This feast reminds our students of the importance of faith, cultural heritage and respect for human dignity. Through prayer, reflection and celebration, students learn how Our Lady of Guadalupe continues to call us to care for one another and trust in God’s presence in our lives.

    SPP students create ofrendas in recognition of November 1st, All Saints Day to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. This meaningful tradition teaches students to celebrate life, family and faith while recognizing the importance of prayer and remembrance. Through this activity, students learn to express gratitude for those who have gone before us and to reflect on the hope of eternal life promised through our Catholic faith. The ofrendas are proudly displayed in the main entrance of the school, welcoming students, families and visitors into this shared celebration of remembrance and faith.

Thank you!

Thank you to the pastor and parishioners at Sts. Peter and Paul for their support!
