Volunteers are needed for the Liturgical Decoration and Environment: Dress up the House of the Lord. We are looking for people who are committed, talented, willing to do a little hands on work, someone with creative ideas and work closely with the pastor and the staff. Must be already fingerprinted. This is great for retired people who can come during the day when staff is here to help. Decorations are used in the church to highlight and correspond to particular celebrations, feasts or the liturgical season. Fall, Thanksgiving, Guadalupe, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost. Because Holy Family is a large church, it is most helpful when many parishioners/volunteers work together to accomplish the tasks, especially to decorate for Christmas and Easter. Decorating tasks include the placement of plants, flowers, hangings, changing of altar cloths, cleaning; and the preparation of sanctuary items for use in the liturgy, help during setup and tear down. Time commitment: a few hours around the changes of the Liturgical Church seasons. All time and effort given by volunteers is greatly appreciated! Please prayerfully consider helping. Contact the parish office at 702-458-2211
Please remember to pick up an envelope from the Giving Tree. Any donation is appreciated and goes towards paying off the parish debt.

Why is it so important that we register in a parish? Isn’t it good enough that we go to Mass?
Many people think that because they attend a particular parish they automatically belong. Often people attend Mass at a parish for months or sometimes years, but never officially register.
Registering at Holy Family is the expression of your commitment to being part of our parish community. Being a registered parishioner also makes the process much simpler when it is time for receiving sacraments, registering for faith formation (religious education), sponsoring a sacrament recipient and even planning funerals. We are often asked to provide affidavits for baptism and confirmation sponsors. We can only do this if a person is a registered, active, and contributing member in our parish.
Most importantly, it lets the parish count on you, to call on you t assist in its mission. Registering in your parish is a statement of faith and confidence in the life and work of your parish.
So, are you a registered parishioner? If not, please register.
