Parishes in the Diocese of Las Vegas

[hcruz402]

For those of you who either live in or have been to the Las Vegas area, are there any liturgically traditional parishes (By that, I mean either Latin Masses or reverent Novus Ordo Masses) to check out?

I’m pretty sure Saint Bridget of Sweden has one and they also have perpetual adoration.

Bright or Brigid?

I haven’t been to many RC Masses locally in the last decade (probably none other than KofC events), but there are also a Pittsburgh Metropolia byzantine (formerly Ruthenian) parish (mine), a Greco-Italo parish (part of the same Eparchy) with a very traditional priest (from Slovenia or Slovakia, and married, like all from his seminary), a Maronite parish, and a Chaldean parish.

I think any of these would be considered liturgically conservative by RC standards.

Mine (St. Gabriel) is entirely in English and chanted (save for the Homily and the prayer before communion, which is spoken [and that shift actually emphasizes it]), Our Lady of Wisdom (Greco-Italian) is primarily English, but has many greek responses, St. Sharbel (Maronite) has both primarily English [save for the Anaphora, which is always Aramaic for Maronites] and mixed English and Arabic, and the St. Barbara is a mix of Chaldean, Arabic, and English.

There is also a Melkite mission, with nothing scheduled at the moment (reorganizing).

There was a Romanian Catholic mission, but it didn’t make it.

I stayed at the tropicana and there’s a Catholic Church across the street from it. I was startled to see a cross from my hotel room window, and went to investigate.

Ha Ha. I went at lunch time. The church had a gift shop with the usual stuff, but they were playing Elvis CD’s. 25 years ago.

What do you pray for in Vegas, anyway, beside the obvious?

That would be the Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer.

After it was built, as another casino was slated . . . it was a problem.

The Shrine was built specifically for tourists on the strip. But the new hotel (the Luxor? It’s been a while) was therefore too close to a church for building and licensing.

The bishop had to put work into waiving the requirements . . . “We built it for them, you lunkheads”–but more politely. . . .

We pray for a wall.

On our western boarder.

We have excessive immigration from California, that want to bring their big government ways . . .
