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).

Letter from the Rector: Visit to the grace of the late Archbishop Peter Martin Ngo-Dinh-Thuc. In October of 1981, he consecrated Bishop Moises Carmona who in turn consecrated me in September of 1991. Christ gave a Divine Mission to His Church to continue His work here on earth. Divine Savior established St. Peter as the Rock upon which He would build His Church and guaranteed that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. Down through the centuries, the Popes, the successors of St. Peter, have consistently preserved the true faith in fulfillment of the mission. Christ established in His Church, a magisterium, that is, a teaching authority which would be protected by the attribute of infallibility. How do we reconcile the infallibility of the magisterium of the Church with the errors that emanated from Vatican Council II? The answer is simple: they cannot be reconciled. The modern hierarchy of this Conciliar Church does not represent the magisterium of the Church. The purpose of Mater Dei Seminary is to form seminarians in the traditional Catholic Faith to be truly other Christs to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to administer the Sacraments, and to preach the true Faith.
