On the first Wednesday of each month, we will maintain this schedule; however, Adoration will begin immediately following our 8:00 am Mass. Please note that the following date(s) will not adhere to this schedule due to previously scheduled events: December 24th, 31st, February 18th, March 18th, and April 1st. We will make every effort to inform you of any changes in advance.

We Are Always In Need Of Sponsors
Those journeying through the sacraments of initiation, like Becoming Catholic (OCIA) or Confirmation, are on a journey that allows interested individuals an opportunity to examine the Christian faith in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The people on this wonderful faith journey need a partner, a fellow traveler, because sometimes the road is difficult, and it’s not always easy to see where it’s leading. They need a companion, a guide, and a friend who knows the way. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or have any questions, please contact Mary Thompson (303-907-0451 or mary.thompson782@gmail.com) or Deacon Dan Maier (702-325-5975 or dcndan@stmlv.org).
Holy Communion For The Sick
If you are unable to leave your home, please contact Patti Sabo at 702-269-3110 to arrange for an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion to visit you. If you are hospitalized, please notify the hospital staff of your Catholic faith and desire to receive Communion.
