Message to the Faithful


As we continue on our journey to bring the intimate encounter of Christ to all, we as a diocese are faced with the growing challenge to meet the needs of our expanding spiritual population. While this is a welcome challenge and we are blessed to be building on the number of faithful in our flock, we as members of the Catholic Church in Southern Nevada are being called upon to reflect on these blessings and how we can grow as a faith community through stewardship and the sharing of God’s gifts.  We have reached a crossroads as a diocese in dealing with the growing needs of our Catholic community, making it necessary for us to launch a capital campaign in order to fulfill our mission; the mission of bringing the Gospel message of Hope to all through evangelization, life-long formation and worship.


Worship - The Diocese of Las Vegas needs to provide parishes and clergy to allow all Catholics in our community to worship and experience God in a personal way.


Evangelization
- As we struggle to provide for the needs of our current members, we often miss opportunities to reach and welcome the stranger as those searching for the Truth.


Lifelong Formation - A commitment to live a holy life is a lifelong pledge of faith formation and service to others in Jesus Christ. We as a church need to encourage and enable the spiritual connection between God and his faithful people to flourish and grow.


Service, Growing Faith in our Community will be the source by which the Diocese of Las Vegas can put into action its calling from God and approach the challenge of growth with an eye toward anticipation rather than reaction. It is my wish that we can all join together to keep the Catholic presence alive and vibrant in all communities within our diocese by prayerfully reflecting on our role as Disciples of Jesus Christ and Stewards of Faith in our community.
