This special service is designed to be a joyful, affirming space of reflection, music, and unity.
Held in the heart of Omaha, this year’s Pride Mass will include sacred music from the Trinity Cathedral Choir and River City Mixed Chorus, with all attendees warmly welcomed to communication and worship.
Special Guest Preacher: The RT. Rev. Dr. Bonnie A. Perry
We are honored to welcome The Rt. Rev. Dr. Bonnie A. Perry, the 11th bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan as this year’s preacher. Bishop Perry made history as the first woman and openly lesbian bishop in Michigan and continues to lead with bold compassion and advocacy for LGBTQ+ inclusion. She was appointed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer as a commissioner on Michigan’s first LGBTQ+ Commission and recently preached at Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland for their 2025 Pride service.
