Coronavirus and Vaccines There is much information available on internet regarding the Coronavirus pandemic as well as the vaccine, its development and administration. But there is also much misinformation as well. Here is a document authored by the Health Officer at Sts Constantine and Helen in Cardiff By the Sea and others that answers many questions on the development of the vaccine and how it works so that we can provide informed answers to all our parishioners.
Live Streaming All services are being live-streamed on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/saintanthonychurchreno/. Thank you for your continued patience and support as we learn and grow with this capability. It is a blessing to be able to connect with those at home in this way.
Online Giving Portal for Stewardship & Donation Offerings The Online Giving Portal can be accessed through our Church Website by clicking the new “Donations & Stewardship” tab. This functionality is secured for your protection and gives you the opportunity to make a one-time contribution or set up a recurring offering.
Our traditional ways of accepting offerings remain the same – the portal has been added for those who prefer the convenience of online giving. It also helps to mitigate the risks associated with handling cash. Our office remains open during weekdays and at services a collection tray will be placed in the Narthex (as a health and safety precaution it will not be passed).
We always look forward to your participation at liturgy (if possible). Learn more about signing up for Sunday services on our website. As always, for personal counseling, confessions, sick calls, and personal visits that may include receiving Holy Communion, please call and speak to me (775-825-5365) or e-mail at fatherstephen@att.net.
