A long-time choir director and lay trustee at St. Benedict's, Mr. Bryant was also a Knight of ST. Gregory.
Born in Oscelo, Iowa Nov. 4, 1877, Bryant had been an Omaha resident since 1930.
A community playground was founded in 1996 largely through the efforts of priests and the parishioners of St. Benedict's. It was located adjacent to the church and named the Bryant Center in his honor.
Creighton at Bryant Resource Center
"Creighton University has partnered with us to provide Introductory and Advanced IT training for individuals residing in Omaha’s near north side. 676 people completed at least one IT class through the center over a two-year period. 59% of the students were women, 82% were African American. More than 60 adults completed an entrepreneurial 12-week training course, and 50% of these adults went on to open a small business."
The Creighton @ Bryant Resource Center offers the classes to the public, free of charge. Registration is necessary.
