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

Reopening St. Anthony’s

By Bill Freeman | June 14, 2020

Please refer to the video below the “Volunteer Interest Form to Assist at Masses During Reopening” regarding reopening next weekend at St. Anthony’s.

Loading…

St. Anthony of Padua will reopen, in some capacity, next weekend June 20th and June 21st. We currently do not know how many people Bishop Thomas will allow us to have inside of the church. If we are still in Phase II, our capacity is capped at about 40 people (total capacity including priests, deacons, ushers, ministers, and custodial staff is 50). If we are in Phase III, we will be allowed many more people; however, it still will not be our full capacity.

ALL MASSES WILL BE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. WE WILL *NOT* BE TAKING RESERVATIONS.

Parishioners over 60, newborns and their families, the disabled, and those with underlying health conditions are still encouraged to stay home making use of Bishop Thomas’ dispensation.

MASKS FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL TEN YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER ARE REQUIRED. Failure to comply will result in being denied entry to the parish and/or you will escorted out of the church.

Bishop Thomas has implemented a zero tolerance policy for everyone’s safety. Next weekend’s Mass schedule is as follows: Saturday: 4 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM (Spanish) Sunday: 8 AM, 10 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM and 7 PM (All Sunday Masses in English) Weekday Masses will be still closed to the public and live streamed only for the first week. Again, all Masses are first come, first serve. There will be no reservations.

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.

Mensaje del P. Bob:

A medida que las cosas continúan desarrollándose con respecto a la situación de salud del Virus Corona (COVID-19), el Obispo Thomas, Diócesis de Las Vegas, sugiere lo siguiente junto con nuestros procedimientos anteriores:

Dada la frecuencia del contacto directo con la saliva en la distribución de la Sagrada Comunión en la lengua, cada individuo debe considerar recibir la Sagrada Comunión con reverencia en las manos, por el momento.

Hasta nuevo aviso, la Sagrada Comunión en San Antonio de Padua se entregará en la manos.
