Church history

Immaculate Conception Parish is a parish of the Archdiocese of Omaha. Immaculate Conception Parish was founded in 1898 and incorporated in 1900. Traditionally the home congregation for many Polish Catholics in Omaha, the present church was built in 1926 and dedicated on July 31, 1927. In August, 2007, Archbishop Elden Curtiss entrusted the care of the parish to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter to provide the Mass and Sacraments in the Traditional Rites of the Catholic Church to any who so desire them. The first Traditional Latin Mass in over 40 years was offered on Sunday, August 26, 2007. A personal parish dedicated to the Traditional Latin Mass is encouraged by Pope Benedict XVI in his 2007 Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum on the Latin Mass.

Other buildings on the property

Immaculate Conception School is located next door at 2716 South 24th Street in south Omaha, Nebraska. The school was sold by the church to private property management firm Guardian Real Estate in the mid-1990s and is now a low-income apartment building.

Still owned by the parish is the I.C.C. Recreation Center, built in 1954 and located west of the Church. The center houses a wood-floor gymnasium with stage and kitchen (serving as the parish hall), a rentable party room and the I.C.C. Bowlatorium, one of the last church-owned and operated bowling alleys left in the U.S. The Bowlatorium is open for leagues, open bowling and party rentals.
