Message from Fr Bob:

As things continue to develop regarding Corona Virus (COVID-19) health situation, Bishop Thomas, Diocese of Las Vegas, is suggesting the following in conjunction with our previous procedures:

Given the frequency of direct contact with saliva in the distribution of Holy Communion o the tongue, every consideration should be given by each individual to receive Holy Communion reverently in open hands, for the time being.

Until further notice, Holy Communion at St. Anthony of Padua will be given on the hand.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.
