Guardian Angel Cathedral
The Beginnings of Guardian Angel Cathedral
Guardian Angel Cathedral is unique not only for its magnificent windows, mosaics, mural and architectural design, but also in its
origin and history. Its beginnings go back to 1958, when the priests of St. Viator began the celebration of a 4:30 am Sunday
Mass at various hotels on the Strip to accommodate hotel/casino workers and visitors. The present church became a reality in
1963 as “Guardian Angel Shrine.” When the Diocese of Reno became the Diocese of Reno-Las Vegas in 1977, the Shrine was
designated as Co-Cathedral of the Catholic Church in Nevada. In 1995 the Diocese of Las Vegas was established with
Guardian Angel Cathedral as the Cathedral of the Roman Catholic Church in Nevada. At the present time, we have eight
masses on the weekend, starting at 2:30 Saturday afternoon, to take care of the pastoral needs of our numerous visitors who
wish to fulfill their Sunday obligation, and for whom we are responsible. Back in 1988, Guardian Angel Cathedral received an
Indult (special permission) from Rome for this Mass, due to the fact that ninety-five percent of the participants in our Eucharistic
celebrations are visitors from all over the world.

Welcome You
Your Journey Home
We sincerely thank our visitors for worshipping with us at
Guardian Angel Cathedral. Remember, life is a journey; you
decide to be a pilgrim or a tourist. Obviously, you came to this
sacred place as a pilgrim. “The place on which you are
standing is holy ground” (Exodus 3:5). May the blessings of
the Journey remain with you always.

The Final Beginning Sanctuary Mural was created by Isabel Piczek. The
artwork seen here is the kind of art which does not want to exist for its own
sake. It wants to draw you into a passionate and deeply inner existence, step by
step, from the dark original creation into the monumentally recreated world of
Man’s Supernature. The Destiny of Man is to unfold in from your eyes, an
unfolding which ends in happiness - your happiness. The real artwork is not
made from glass, paint or tile. It is created within you—by you.

Happy
INVITED
The Good News is that we
have all been invited-invited
to the Kingdom, invited to be
disciples. It’s a life-changing
invitation, and like so many
other such invitations, it
requires a great deal of
deliberation and discernment. Whether we choose
marriage, ordination, single
life, or community life, we
know the serious planning
and consideration that
accompany these profound
decisions. Like the towerbuilder in the Gospel, we
have weighed both the monetary and emotional cost. We
have pondered and planned
our lives in the direction to
which we believe God has
called us. And while we pray
for guidance and acceptance
of God’s will, we often fail to
understand so much. Like
Solomon, we turn to God for
wisdom and counsel in our
life-changing decisions.
