Associate Pastor
Hello, my name is Fr. Patrick Moser. I serve as Associate Pastor at St. Patrick’s Parish since my ordination to the priesthood June 2nd, 2019. I am the fourth of seven children born to my parents, Edward and Sandy Moser, and I am from St. Teresa of Avila parish in Clearwater, NE. I enjoy working on the farm, reading, and spending time outdoors.
I don’t remember exactly when I first thought about being a priest “when I grew up,” but I remember thinking I might be “(something)…or a priest” a few times in grade school. I attended high school at Pope John Central Catholic in Elgin, NE, but I did not feel a call to the priesthood at that time. After graduating high school in 2006, I attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanized Systems Management in 2010.
I participated in a bible study on campus and several mission trips during my time there, and I began to feel God tugging me toward the priesthood in my final two years of college. I fought my call for a few years, but I finally entered Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis, MO in 2012. I have enjoyed the opportunity to grow in my faith and apply the study of Theology to my prayer and daily life, as well as the brotherhood I share with the other seminarians. I was ordained a transitional deacon on May 26, 2017 before completing my seminary formation this May.
Please feel free to ask me about my journey with Christ, or about my discernment or about vocations in general, and I ask for your patience as I learn your names. I am excited to be assigned to St. Patrick’s Parish, and I look forward to meeting all of you.

Religious Formation Director
Mary McMahon grew up on a farm outside of Neola, Iowa. She moved to Nebraska when she married her husband, Mike. They have two grown children, Megan and Nicholas, both married. They are blessed to have four grandsons; Dillon, Mike, Tyler and Colton. Mary and Mike joined St. Patrick’s in 1980 and prior to becoming the Director of Religious Formation, she volunteered as a catechist, helped with special projects and also volunteered in the RF Office. Over the years, she worked with several DRE’s who in a way were mentoring her all along. Each time the opening for a new Director of Religious Formation came up, she considered the possibility of applying, but at the time, knew the hours would not work for her family. In 1999, St. Patrick's DRE was relocating and encouraged Mary to apply for the position. She was hired to work in a program that has always been near and dear to her heart. Her position allows her to plan, organize and pass on the Catholic faith. Mary feels that it is truly rewarding to work with the children, parents and volunteers in our parish community.

Youth Minister
My name is Adam Stephenson and I'm originally from Gypsum, Kansas. My wife Rachael and I moved to Omaha 6 years ago to follow my career as a Sports Performance Coach and hers as a teacher, now an administrator. We are members of St Charles Borromeo in Gretna and have 4 kids that are constantly attached to our hips! Over the years I've enjoyed many hobbies, but found that they would inevitably lead to boredom, an unfulfilled feeling, or lack true meaning. Over the last few years my hobby has been Jesus. He's been the only thing in my life (along with my family) that has negated the previous roadblocks. I'm excited for the opportunity to help others realize that this opportunity is very real and of utmost importance in their lives as it has been in mine.
