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).

April 2024:
Letter from the Rector: Great blessing of life in seminary is living in close proximity to the Blessed Sacrament. After morning prayers and meditation, our seminarians assist daily at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and are nourished with the Living Bread that has come down from heaven. When they recite the Divine Office and the Holy Rosary, their prayers are in His Divine Presence. Month of April is dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament. Let us draw near His Heart to be inflamed by His Divine Love. Apparition of the Angel of Portugal to the Fatima children and the prayer he taught them. In these times of apostasy, let us truly treasure the Holy Eucharist. Pictures of the Holy Week Ceremonies, CMRI Brothers 1st Year Vows, and CMD Religious Vows Ceremonies. Fr. Connell Answers Moral Questions: The Repetition of Extreme Unction & Presence at Non-Catholic Services.
