Bishop Joseph A. Pepe would like to extend an invitation to the parishioners of the Diocese of Las Vegas to join him at the Guardian Angel Cathedral on Tuesday, March 27th at 6:00 p.m. for the celebration of the Chrism Mass. At this liturgy the sacred oils used at each parish throughout the year to anoint those receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Ordination and Anointing of the Sick will be blessed by the Bishop. This Mass is also the time for the priests of our diocese to renew their vows of Holy Orders. Your attendance at this mass would show our oneness as a community of believers made possible through our Bishop and priests.

Ash Wednesday Masses will be held on Wednesday, February 14, 2018. Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting that marks the beginning on Lent. While it is not a Holy Day of Obligation, Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass. To best accommodate our parishioners, several Masses will be held during the day.
Catholic adults are obligated to fast on Ash Wednesday. That means one full meal or two smaller meals. For more details and information from the Code of Canon Law (the laws of the Catholic Church), please click here. The link will take you to an article on EWTN’s website.
