Bishop Thomas Extends Dispensation from the Obligation of Mass

DECREE
Dispensation from the Obligation to Attend Mass
Extension – August 30, 2020 through September 27, 2020
While I have granted permission to begin the reopening of public Masses, due to the ongoing gravity of the present moment and the restrictions being placed on us during the civil reopening plan, I hereby extend the dispensation for all Catholic faithful of the Diocese of Las Vegas and those Catholics visiting within the geographic boundaries of our Diocese, from the obligation of attending Sunday Masses up to and including September 27, 2020.

While we recognize that many are eager to return to Mass in our churches, it remains important for those who are elderly and otherwise at risk to refrain from returning to public Liturgies until it is manifestly safe to do so. For all the faithful, especially those who are sick, at high risk of becoming sick, and their caregivers, the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is hereby dispensed.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Revered George L. Thomas, Ph.D.
Bishop of the Diocese of Las Vegas

Date: August 24, 2020
COVID-19 Update from Fr. Bob & Fr. Sabastian

COVID-19 Update from Fr. Bob & Fr. Sabastian

By |
Dear Parishioners,
Fr. Sabastian and I have been in isolation these past few days due to a possible COVID-19 exposure. Like thousands of others in our community, our results are still pending. We have been instructed to keep a low profile, and not leave the rectory to say Mass. Thankfully, the good Lord has provided faithful priests who have been able to still help us; however, due to their own pre-existing ailments, they have been advised by their doctors to either say Mass with very limited people for a live stream or privately from home. It is because of this situation Mass has been closed to the public, and will continue to be closed, until further notice. Please remember that Fr. Sebastian, Fr. Joe, Fr. Jim, Fr. Miguel, Fr. Daniel, and myself – with the help of Bill Freeman and Steve Borzage – are doing the best that we can to bring the Sacraments to you and maintain our parish community. Please keep all of these men in your prayers for their protection and continued perseverance in the face of an unprecedented pandemic. Together, through the unifying power of prayer, we will overcome Satan and all of his evil works.
Fr. Bob
Jessica Parrish to Leave St. Anthony’s

Jessica Parrish to Leave St. Anthony’s

By |
My Saint Anthony’s Family,
It is with much sadness to inform you that Jessica Parrish, our Director of Faith Formation since Summer 2012, has answered the Lord’s call and has accepted a new position at a different parish.
During her tenure as our Director of Faith Formation, Jessica was instrumental in taking our Faith Formation program to the next level. Under Jessica’s leadership, she nurtured and grew Faith Formation and Youth Ministry during our transition from a “mom and pop” operation at Centennial High School to a more organized program here in our present building. A large part of Jessica’s success here at Saint Anthony’s was her “open door” policy of welcoming both parents and youth alike into her office.
As our Director of Faith Formation, she will be greatly missed. Faith Formation, Vacation Bible School, Youth Ministry/CORE, and our retreats will never be the same.
Until a permanent replacement can be named, please contact Joseph Wattenbarger, Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry, with any Faith Formation inquiries.
We wish Jessica and her family all the best in her new adventure, and we pray for the continued success of her ministry.
Your Pastor,
Fr. Bob
Rev. Robert W. Puhlman
Pastor, St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church
Diocese of Las Vegas, Nevada
