For the near future, the Parish Office will be closed. Only Staff may enter. All parish business will need to be by phone or email. Sorry for the inconvenience. Fr. Bob Chorey
Because so many people signed up for some masses, we had to shut off the sign ups until we could get it organized. We still have too many persons for the 4pm in Church service, at 75 now, but we need to be around that 50 number. Plenty of space at 6pm chapel, and 8am church
Update on MyParishApp: someone asked why the "Worship" Icon disappeared from the app. I inquired, and the USCCB only gave permission for its use through the end of the liturgical year. So, until we hear further... sorry.

Good Day to all - Fr. Bob here with some good news. With the Court ruling and Gov. Sisolak's release, Bishop Calvo notified all parishes that the 50 person cap on services is lifted. It is now based on social distancing and not to exceed 25% of fire capacity. This means for OLS our baseline threshold is 82 persons. This will start for this coming weekend masses. We all appreciate the patience!

Such beautiful words God speaks to the people of Israel through Isaiah. Words of hope, especially to a people who have been in exile; who thought themselves forsaken, forgotten. Words of tenderness, comfort; to life them up,
God speaks to Israel, God’s chosen people, and in these words there is also a reminder of who they are and who they are to be.
God chose Abram, as we heard last week, and promised descendants more numerous than the stars of the sky. God did this not just for the sake of Abram to have heirs but that they will reveal to the world God. Thus God will be made known to all the world.
Israel will enlighten the world to the face of God. All the world could then live in the freedom, know their own inherent goodness and act on it because they knew God. All the world could transcend their selfishness, work together for the good of all. This was the mission of Israel.
Jesus fulfills this mission.
In him, we can know all of God. We have been enlightened.
And we believers join in this continued mission; to know God and to share this relationship with the world, so that in all places of the world, God’s face is known, loved and people are freed.
We believers build Heaven on earth.
We here believe, at some level. We all come at various depths of belief, heights of belief. Our life’s work is to deepen that belief; go higher in our faith, become more wise, and thus spread the Good News.
What difference has believing in Jesus made for us? What difference having faith in God made for us? Are we making a difference for the world, a positive difference?
Magi and Herod are given a chance to encounter God’s great plan, the fulfillment of the mission; they each respond in different ways.
The Magi with open hearts go in search of this “king” that was born. They seek the divine wisdom and give homage to it. Symbolizing that worldly wisdom derives its meaning ideally from divine wisdom.
Herod, well he only sees himself and his power. He will do anything to maintain this own way of life. He will not participate in God’s mission. He is the epitome of worldly wisdom.
This has been our story ever since; played out in nations, in our church and played out in us.
We are all given a path to follow; a wisdom of humility, mercy, generosity; to give of one’s self for the good of others; love. This is the face of God. This is the true wisdom of God.
Yet, how many times we have used this to hurt, to maim, to deny; we corrupted this message as an institution, as a supposed nation under God, and as persons to benefit ourselves.
And there are many people who choose to live wisely, to live the mission.
They speak of Love and act on it. They work to end poverty, they work to end violence on the unborn, the sick and elderly, the condemned prisoner. They strive to protect this world and all its beauty.
They see people as dignified, maybe hurting, but always worthy of love.
They pray, they work not to get themselves into heaven at some point in the future after death, but to help build heaven here on earth, now.
True believers that speak up for all persons, and work against the evils of racism, sexism, nationalism.
They make known God’s great love not with their grandiose words, or politics; but with action, with kindness, with forgiveness.
Sr. Helen Prejean, Gloria Purvis, St. Oscar Romero, Dorothy Day, Fr. Greg Boyle, Pope Francis just to name a few who have and are still at work for God.
And the countless quiet ones, who day in and day out, hope and work for a better world, and trust in God, in the face of God.
Who don’t long to escape this beautiful world, but wish for that beauty to be made more real.
And we, ourselves?
How will those beautiful words of Isaiah, all of scripture inspire in us a change? How will belief in Jesus Christ Inspire us?

Monday Morning Mass. "Holy Innocents"
Diocese of Reno
January 7 at 5:56 PM ·
From Bishop Randolph Calvo: After yesterday's siege of the U.S. Capitol, I ask everyone to pray for the peace of our nation, especially in the weeks to come.
Let us pray:
O God of peace, who are peace itself
and whom a spirit of discord cannot grasp,
nor a violent mind receive,
grant that those who are one in heart
may persevere in what is good
and that those in conflict
may forget evil and so be healed.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God forever and ever. Amen.
Del Señor obispo Randolph Calvo: Después del asedio de ayer al Capitolio de los Estados Unidos, les pido a todos que oren por la paz de nuestra nación, especialmente en las próximas semanas.
Oremos:
Oh Dios de paz, que eres la paz misma
y a quien un espíritu de discordia no puede controlar,
ni una mente violenta abarcar,
concede que los que son uno en el corazón
puedan perseverar en lo bueno
y que aquellos en conflicto
abandonen el mal y sean sanados.
Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo,
que vive y reina contigo
en la unidad del Espíritu Santo,
un solo Dios por los siglos de los siglos. Amén
Señor Obispo Randolph Calvo
(Tomado de la Misa para la Preservación de la Paz y la Justicia)
Bishop Randolph Calvo
(Collect from the Mass for the Preservation of Peace and Justice)
Fr. Bob's homily - I know I have shared this story before, but it is one of those that is seared into my memory. As a seminarian I did a summer of chaplaincy at a hospital in Palo Alto. I was called to a room with a mother and daughter, the daughter was ill. The mother was crying a lot. So I asked her to share, and what eventually came out was they were relatively newly baptized, and their pastor (non catholic) assured them once baptized nothing bad would happen.
January, it’s the month many say they want to get healthier, lose weight. Gym memberships are started; bow flex and other equipment is purchased. There is the resolve, for a while. Then the membership gets forgotten, the treadmill becomes a nice place to hang clothes, the resolve gone. Then we complain we are still overweight, so then comes the fast and easy things...pills, electric gadgets, all to make it as easy as possible. And the results?
To say these are interesting times is an understatement. We have a political climate that many of us have not experienced before. We have a pandemic that has disrupted everything. Our world’s climate changes, and people’s homes and livelihoods are being destroyed. It can be frightening and it can make us angry and sad; all at the same time. It can test our understanding of our faith, our understanding of God and what it means to be a baptized believer of Jesus Christ.
Good, because therein lies growth.
Mark’s account of the Baptism is terse, but wonderful. I love what it says after Jesus comes out of the water: “he saw the heavens being TORN open and the Spirit...descending upon him.”
Such energy. It’s like a child with a present tearing through the wrapping paper to get to the gift so anxious to get to it. Mark will use that same language at the death of Jesus, referring to the curtain in the temple at the moment of death. Meaning the veil between humanity and God is no more, it is torn asunder.
God tears through to open up heaven and earth. So desirous God wants heaven to be on earth that God rips across the divide, and the Spirit comes.
And the Spirit, as we follow that Gospel, will move Jesus into the desert to be tempted by Satan and then right into active ministry.
Such an incredible gift we have been given from God. We are given the beloved Son, who fully entered into the human condition to show us the extent of God’s love for us, and to enable us to work with God to conquer the evil in our lives and in the world; to go and work to build up Heaven here on earth.
Baptism is not a club membership, nor something done to appease grandma, abuela, nonni. Baptism initiates a life of work. It inspires us to go into the mess of this life, the chaos of this life, and confront it. Confront not with violence, not with force, but with healing, with forgiveness, with compassion, with generosity, with love.
Jesus did the same. He manifested God’s love in his actions, in showing to the world how God is, so that we can be as God.
Is it easy, no, of course not. None of us are promised an easy life in baptism. If we are, then that is malpractice by someone.
To lose weight, we have to actually exercise, we have to actually watch what we eat. We have to actively participate in caring for our bodies.
It is the same with faith, the same with our mission. It requires our participation, wholly and consciously participating.
Yes there are real concerns, real evil in this world. We can see the killing of innocents, from the unborn to the sick and elderly, the poor and disadvantaged, those of color, women, children in schools.
We can see the evil of racism in this world, in this country.
We can witness too many young people hurt themselves because they have given up hope.
We have a lot of work to do. God calls us to this work, as his own son worked to confront the chaos and darkness.
It cannot be with violence, but only by our self-giving, by the grace within us, by being human.
It is with our words, peaceful demonstrations, it is with our own actions of making the right decisions that benefit the many in the long terms, not just ourselves today.
We Christians, when we use that grace, wonderful things have happened. We have the work of Saint Mother Theresa of Calcutta and the continued work of her community. We have the ongoing work of Fr. Greg Boyle in LA. Groups like Unbound Ministries who came earlier this year. There is our own Catholic Charities. We have seen tears of happiness in our own parking lot as we have distributed food. We have Watched our young persons mature into more solid, strong adults.
So much more out there, empowered by our own baptisms that we can do.
Christmas has ended. The Spirit has descended upon us, the heavens have been ripped open. Let’s get to work.
