In May, 1957 as Father William Foster stood surveying four acres of land which had been the Ralston Golf Course at 78th and Lakeview, the words of Archbishop Gerald T. Bergan echoed in his head, "I want you to go out to Ralston and build a church and a school."
The Holy Sacrifice of the mass was offered at St. Gerald's Church on Easter Sunday, March 29, 1959. The blessing and dedication took place on April 19 that same year.
St. Gerald School is the largest K-6 private school in the State of Nebraska.
The Parish Center / Gymnasium served as one of our original gathering places for social events.
