St. Mary Magdalene Church, Omaha
Saint Mary Magdalene, situated in downtown Omaha, was founded in 1868. At the beginning it was a small church. Afterwards, in 1903, the present church was built. This church was very popular and well-known because it was built “downwards”. Because of Omaha’s steep hills, (in 1919 Dodge Street was lowered), the new street level was at the mezzanine of the church. As a result, it was necessary to construct a new substructure. Here the masses last approximately thirty minutes.
