The Portiuncula in Omaha takes the shape of the Tau. It gives attention to spirituality, materiality, and simplicity. It focuses on natural light using basic, elemental, and natural materials. |

Phase 1 of the project is a 5.2 million dollar undertaking. For its completion, the Sisters need 2 million which makes the launching of the pledge program important as well as imperative. Any contribution you can make will be so greatly appreciated. |
