Roundtable on Viatorian Roots and Legacy at St. Thomas More Viatorian Voices: Conversations on the Way
-
- Christianity
As the regional population grew around Las Vegas, residents in the Green Valley area of Henderson saw a need to start a new parish in their area. Early gatherings started in 1984 and were held in a preschool and later a mortuary chapel. In 1986, the Diocese of Las Vegas established St. Thomas More Catholic Community with Viatorian priest Fr. Tom Long, CSV as its first pastor.
The parish first built a multi-purpose center where they then celebrated Mass for several years until their church was completed and dedicated in 1996. Several Viatorians have served as pastors and associate pastors, and many lay parishioners have become Viatorian associates. In 2019, the Viatorians handed administration of the parish to the Diocese of Las Vegas, concluding 33 years of leadership there. Today, we seek to celebrate the origins, ministry, and community life of this Viatorian-founded parish, and honor the good work that continues today. (This conversation was recorded in September 2022, and the episode debuted on October 31, 2022.)
