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).

November 2024:
Letter from the Rector: Special request for prayers for one of our traditional Catholic families in Michigan- the Isaac Martin family. They had just left Mass on Sunday, November 10 when they were involved in a tragic car accident, which took took the life of Alexa Martin who was seven months pregnant and her two year old daughter Zelie. Alexa was a devout Catholic, wife and mother. Fr. Ephrem Cordova, CMRI underwent brain surgery to correct chronic issues that he has dealt with for 24 years. Almighty God in His Divine Providence has provided a surgeon specializing in this area. Father is making a remarkable recovery and is hopeful to return to his priestly duties as pastor of Queen of the Most Holy Rosary in Phoenix. Importance of Catholic education to foster priestly and religious vocations. Please remember our seminarians who will be advancing in the month of December to the Major and Minor Order.
