Vegas Prays

I went to Mass this past Sunday at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Church in Las Vegas. It's a new church with magnificent mosaic icons in the sanctuary. It's nice to see that not all the great workmanship is saved for the casinos.

Nothing wacky during the Mass, in fact they still kneel at the right times (unlike Los Angeles) and ring the bells after the consecration. The cantor was quite good. The priest even mentioned the feast of the Sacred Heart during the homily.

The whole church complex is modeled after a Spanish mission and is quite effective and attractive. I knew I was in Las Vegas when I noticed the plaque dedicating the bell tower in honor of Conrad Hilton.
