About St. Joseph's Catholic Church
Offering the Traditional & Tridentine Latin Mass Only!
We are located in downtown Las Vegas at the intersection of 9th &
Ogden Streets. We first opened in 1982 with Father James Wilson as the
founding pastor. At this time there were no priests in the area offering
a Mass according to the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church. At the
requests of many traditional Catholics, Father Wilson offered the
Sacraments and faith that they were used to before the Second Vatican
Council-a council which, contrary to all the teachings and laws of the
Catholic Church, changed the Catholic Faith. In March of 1993, Father
Courtney Edward Krier began assisting Father James Wilson in the care of
the faithful attending St. Joseph's. Since the death of Father Wilson
in 1997, Father Krier has expanded the beautiful chapel, making it the
present sanctury the faithful now attend.
