Some Experiences of ICP The program is well formatted and the content is deeply nourishing. It enlarged my thinking and my experiences of compassion. Excellent faculty! Carol D. ICP supports my journey of faith – to grow and learn the beauty of compassion, to meet with others and share the challenges, and to discover the process of how and what compassion "looks like" toward myself and others. Wendy E. The ICP has opened desperately needed doors of compassion in our currently troubled world to create hope. Maureen B. The program has given me a better understanding of areas I need to work on in my spiritual life. Betty H. The program has a wide and rich variety of approaches, experiences, and disciplines to nourish and challenge one spiritually. Mike M. I always feel refreshed after attending. I look forward to it every month. I hate to see it end. Neshelle R.

St. Peregrine Ministry The St. Peregrine Ministry is a program of the Servite Center of Compassion in Omaha with out-reach in other areas where the Sisters serve. It is part of a national ministry that the Servite Order established in honor of St. Peregrine, the Servite saint who is the patron of those suffering from cancer or other serious illnesses. |

Later in his life, Peregrine was afflicted with cancer on his leg. The doctor recommended amputation as the only course of action. The night before surgery, Peregrine prayed before a large crucifix in the monastery. That night, Peregrine dreamed that Christ on the crucifix lifted his hand from the cross and touched the sore on Peregrine's leg, immediately healing the cancer. When Peregrine awoke, the cancer was gone. Peregrine continued his life of preaching and penance for another 20 years. In 1726, he was canonized and named the official saint of the Church for the cure of cancer. We are privileged to pray for individuals and families through the intercession of St. Peregrine, a cancer survivor who turned to prayer during his time of need. Thousands of people from throughout the world have found emotional and physical strength from being remembered in our prayer and participating in the Program. We invite you to enroll yourself or a loved one in the St. Peregrine Prayer Program. Click here to enroll. |
![]() Peregrine Ministry |
A Mass is celebrated in honor of St. Peregrine the third Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. in the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows Convent in Omaha, Nebraska. At the Mass, we pray for all who are suffering from cancer or other life threatening illnesses. Three times a year, an anointing service takes place during the Liturgy. We also sponsor three days of prayer (Triduum) the third weekend in May, the month of the feast of St. Peregrine. Our Peregrine ministry extends to family members after the death of a loved one. Our Bereavement Program includes a newsletter and a memorial Mass on the third Saturday of November, which is held in honor of all who have died during the past year. |

The Peregrine Chapel, next to our main Chapel, contains a sculpture of St. Peregrine and provides visitors a place for quiet prayer. Our beautiful Healing Garden, on the grounds of our Motherhouse, has a life-size sculpture of the Compassionate Christ. It is the focal point that welcomes visitors into the garden. A display of the Seven Sorrows of Mary is mounted on the garden's north wall. Benches placed among the garden's floral beauty provide the perfect setting for solitary meditation and healing reflection.
