Every year Las Vegas has about 42,300,000 visitors from all over the globe. Somewhere between five and six million of our visitors are Catholics.

Catholics are incredibly special people when it comes to our religion. No matter where we go, we take our faith and religious practices with us.  Wherever we find ourselves, we hope to join in the celebration of the Sunday Liturgy and to partake of the Sacraments. We take it for granted that the local Churches will provide the facilities and personnel necessary to meet our religious needs.

The Diocese of Las Vegas was a difficult location to handle.  The Cathedral at the north end of the Strip was enlarged and even then, could not accommodate the growing number of destination resorts being planned for the south end of the Strip. Thus the Shrine was built seating 2,200 and funded largely through individuals and corporate donations by the people of Las Vegas. After the wear and tear over the years, the original pews were replaced and the Shrine now seats under 2,000.  All are welcomed to the Shrine and we hope that your visit will be a happy and blessed experience.
