Roman Catholic Marriage in Las Vegas
There is no "quickie" way for Catholics to be married in Las Vegas. Catholic marriages (as a valid sacramental union) cannot be witnessed in a hotel, casino, wedding chapel or outdoor arena in Las Vegas. Roman Catholics wishing to marry validly should be suspect of any so-called (roman) catholic priest offering such accommoda-tions. For further information, please contact the Diocesan Tribunal Office, 702-735-1210, Monsignor Francis Vivona, S.T.M., J.C.L.

Over 60 years later, parts of our world still lie in ruins from war, floods, famine or other natural disasters all over the world.

explore walking in the footsteps of St. Francis throught the Secular
Franciscan Order. For further informtion and to attend a meeting you may
call Madge at 453-2417 or Gwen at 457-1560.

Telephone Reassurance Program
The Telephone Reassurance Program serves individuals, age 60 and older, living alone and in need of a daily reassurance call. If you or someone you know would like to receive a daily check-up from one of our callers please contact our office at 382-0721 - Monday – Thursday: 6:00am – 3:30pm and Friday: 7:30am – 11:30am
The daily contact decreases the level of isolation felt by the client and often results in a long lasting friendship between the client and caller. Telephone Reassurance enables seniors to continue living independently in the community with the assurance that assistance will be available should an accident or other medical emergency occur. Telephone Reassurance clients receive a daily “check-in” call from a designated volunteer. If no contact is made, the volunteer then notifies the Telephone Reassurance Coordinator who initiates emergency procedures with assistance from local law enforcement and medical services as needed.
Catholic Charities has one focus: to give help and hope to people in need regardless of race, religion or creed. |
