Dispensation from the Obligation to Attend Mass Extension - July 5 through August 30

07-12-2020Pastor's LetterMost Reverend George L. Thomas

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 "Phase 2" 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 August 30, 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.

To My New and Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Anne Catholic Church

07-05-2020Pastor's LetterFr. Miguel Corral

The Lord be with you! While we normally use this greeting at our liturgical celebrations, I did not think there would be a problem in beginning my first letter to you as your new parish administrator by wishing all of you the Lord’s presence in your lives.

Some of you may remember me from 4 years ago when, in 2016, I came to St. Anne as a seminarian intern for 6 months and then I returned to Mundelein Seminary to complete my theological studies.

Now I come among you as your Parish Administrator. It’s a much different ballgame being the parish administrator rather than a seminarian intern. The responsibility of this great community of faith and educational ministry is on my shoulders. I hope I can count on your support as together we move forward as a community of faith in the midst of a world crisis.
