Welcome 

Reserving a spot at mass

As we navigate our way back following the coronavirus shutdown, all masses will be limited to 50 attendees — a number which includes the priest and servers. To attend mass, call 702-458-2211 to make a reservation. The deadline is end of day Thursday. This way, we can control the crowd and continue to follow safety protocols established by the state and diocese.

We've had many would-be churchgoers attempt to contact the office on Sunday, or minutes before mass begins. We've also had some randomly show up. By then, in this new normal, it's too late.

The church is cleaned in between services, rows are roped off for social distancing standards, and temperatures are taken before you are allowed to enter the church. We'll get through this together, and soon be back at full capacity. Until then, we appreciate your help! 

A message from Father Steve,

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Holy Family Catholic Church and the Diocese of Las Vegas are entering Phase 2 of reopening our churches, starting on Saturday, June 6. We will be able to celebrate mass, weddings, quinceañeras, funerals, first communions, confirmations and baptisms. However, we will be limited to only having 50 people at any given service. We are awaiting directions from the Diocese of Las Vegas as to what this will look like and how we implement the opening. Hopefully, Phase 2 will be short-lived and we will be able to include more people. Since the details are not finalized, I invite you to stay tuned to our webpage at www.holyfamilylv.org, our Holy Family Catholic Church Facebook page, and our parish App for more details. We will post them next week. I pray that you will have a blessed weekend.

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Holy Family Catholic Church y la Diócesis de Las Vegas están entrando en la Fase 2 de reapertura de nuestras iglesias el sábado 6 de junio. Podremos celebrar misas, bodas, quinceañeras, funerales, primeras comuniones, confirmaciones y bautizos. Sin embargo, estaremos limitados a tener solo 50 personas en un servicio determinado. Estamos esperando instrucciones de la Diócesis de Las Vegas en cuanto a cómo se verá realmente y cómo implementaremos la apertura. Con suerte, la Fase 2 será de corta duración y podremos abrirnos con más para incluir a más personas. Dado que los detalles no están finalizados, los invito a que se mantengan atentos a nuestra página web en www.holyfamilylv.org, nuestra página de Facebook de la Iglesia Católica de la Sagrada Familia y nuestra aplicación parroquial para obtener más detalles. Los publicaremos la próxima semana. Rezo para que tengas un fin de semana bendecido.

DIOCESE OF LAS VEGAS TO FOLLOW GUIDANCE OF RESTORATION COUNCIL FOR REOPENING

The reopening of the parishes of the Diocese of Las Vegas will be led by its Diocesan Restoration Council, said Bishop George Leo Thomas, Ph.D., the Bishop of the Diocese of Las Vegas.

“I established the Council to ensure the safe and systematic reopening of our parishes in a manner that follows and respects the guidelines and limitations provided by health officials and the State of Nevada. It is essential that we are mindful of necessary precautions and safety recommendations for the health and well-being of all of our people,” Bishop Thomas said.

The Diocesan Restoration Council is chaired by Mr. John Kilduff, President of Bishop Gorman High School and is comprised of representatives from a wide array of disciplines including medical, gaming, education, civic, law enforcement, engineering, logistics and pastoral ministry.

The Council has met several times and is working on an established set of protocols based on guidance and recommendations that have been made available to date. They will be taking this new development and guidance under advisement and will be working to finalize plans for the reopening of parishes.

Further announcements will be made once the plans have been finalized to include timing.
