Comedy & Cuisine is the annual spring fund raiser for Saint Cecilia Cathedral School. Inaugurated in 1997, this evening of gourmet food, silent/live auctions, entertainment and socializing brings together school parents, parishioners, alumni and friends of the parish school. Hundreds of volunteers serve in a wide assortment of roles in a process that requires months of preparation. The original venue for this event was the Cathedral campus until 2006 when off-campus locations were used until a return to the campus in 2013. The Monsignor Graham Building has proved to be a favorite and familiar celebration location.

In 2020, three families entered the doors of St. Cecilia with four of their kids starting kindergarten. These beautiful children started their faith and educational journeys together, and their parents have formed friendships that will last a lifetime….Let us tell you a little of our story.

We feel so blessed to be part of the St. Cecilia’s community; it feels like a small town dropped into the middle of Omaha. We are three families with a total of 10 kids! Some are legacy families—Theresa Lehn and Lindsay (Rachwalik) Rosenthal — who bring decades of belonging and caring for our community. And we have newbies too--Paul, Quinn, Mark, and Mike.

We are also small business owners, like Mark’s “The Retirement Guys” and Paul’s “Le Bouillon” restaurant and “Howard Street Wine Merchant.” We also include a proud union member, Mike, of the Operating Engineer’s Local 234. Quinn is the General Counsel of a national agricultural business called JDH. Theresa deftly managers her family of seven, and she is such an active supporter of St. Cecilia’s. Lindsay devotes her daytime hours to the Madonna School as a special education teacher.

All told, we are soccer, flag football, and basketball coaches. We are Board of Education and ABC members, room parents, and more. . . . Mostly, though, we are grateful to be a part of the St. Cecilia community.
St. Cecilia’s brought our three families together. Together we break bread, pray, laugh and love our school. God is Good… All the Time!

CathedralFest

CathedralFest, our annual fall event, raises important monies for the parish while providing an opportunity for parish and community fellowship. Hundreds of volunteers from young to long time parishioners, as well as alumni, create an atmosphere that appeals to all ages. The signature big top tent serves as the center of a midway of booths and inflatables and the not-to-be-missed White Elephant sale, the silent auction and the gymnasium booths. 

CathedralFest takes place on the first full weekend in October, beginning with the Blessing of the Animals and concluding with the Grand Prize raffle drawing.
