A Traditional Catholic Seminary:
Mater Dei Seminary is a traditional Catholic seminary founded for the formation of seminarian students in preparation for their ordination to the holy priesthood. Established in 1984, and originally located at Mt. St. Michael in Spokane, Washington, Mater Dei Seminary was relocated in Omaha, Nebraska in 1989. In the fall of 2019, a new property for the seminary was acquired. Situated on ten acres of land and with housing for up to 20 seminarians, this seminary campus is located out in the country and provides a wonderful retreat atmosphere. The seminary operates under the auspices of the Most Rev. Mark A. Pivarunas, CMRI, and the Religious Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (CMRI).

February 2025:
Letter from the Rector: 2025 marks the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea in 324 AD. Under the papacy of Pope St. Sylvester, the Council condemned the heretic Arius, who denied the Divinity of Christ; it also decreed the celebration of Easter be universally observed as it had been in Rome on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. A more detailed creed was formulated to reiterate the Divinity of Christ. History clearly shows us that there is one Church that can be traced back to Christ- the Catholic Church.
