Greetings!
Good News: I will livestream the Liturgy of the Hours starting Monday, March 23 and will continue every morning, Monday through Friday at 9 AM in place of our daily Mass. Join us
here. Please scroll down for additional details.
For Daily Mass on the Reno Diocese YouTube channel, please
click here. In addition, there are some new options on the MyParish App. Please see below.
Yesterday, Bishop Calvo extended the suspension of Masses in the Reno Diocese until April 16, 2020. Obviously this affects Holy Week and Easter. We will wait to receive direction from the Bishop about how we will go forward.
Until further notice, the church will be open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm for people who wish to come for private prayer. Please be aware of social distancing and that no more than 10 people can gather at a time.
The office staff will be staggering work hours. Please call before coming in to be sure someone is available to help you. Confession is available by appointment only. To schedule, please call my direct line: 775-298-4012 or send me
an e-mail.
Let us unite our voices and hearts in prayer for an end to this pandemic, healing and relief for those who are affected, and inspiration for those working to stop the virus.
