"The water of true tears keeps alive the fires of devotion."…read more Needing to find yourself in this big world, need a quiet thought all to your self. Come in and sit awhile. The services are open to the public, but your prayers can be fulfilled with a bought on your knees your lighting a candle anytime you need. The church keeps its doors open to the public during business type hours for public use. A small candle donation is not required but appreciated. The Catholic population of Reno was vast in the early years with no place of worship or fellowship. The cornerstone of the church was laid in 1906. In June of 1908 the cathedral was dedicated. All worship services were in full swing, but a fire destroyed the roof in 1909. It was rebuilt and rededicated in 1910 where it still stands tall for all to come. The first Bishop of Reno, Thomas Kiely Gorman was set as the Diocese of Reno. Through the years many restorations have taken place to retro fit the foundation. In the 1950s a wrap around mural surrounding the alter was installed. A one of a kind mural painted by Edith and Isabel Piczek, is considered "to be one of the finest works of its kind in America." The theme of the mural depicts "Adoration of the Lamb of God, our Lord in the Blessed Eucharist." The message of the mural depicts how important the modern family should accept sacrament for communion for their lives and the community. The murals presents images of "Saints from the Old Law," Abel, Moses, Ruth, Abraham, and Isaac in all their glory. Depictions of John the Baptist and the Lamb of God are presented in all majesty. The call of angels is a truth of faith in Catholic teachings. The door of St Thomas is adorned in all copper with two angels on either side. We dwell in constant companies of angels keeping us safe. It is interesting that the Saint Aquinas, related discussions of angels to location. This saint discusses: "could an angel be a non physical being said to occupy space?" The realm of the angels these days and the early thoughts from Aquinas have led to much of the mechanics of quantum physics. It's a mighty majesty to place angels and you can ponder their glory in an Aquinas dedication to his reverence. As the large copper doors are open to all. Come in and find yourself. Talk to the maker. Use the services to help yourself and those around you. May your faith be strong no matter what you believe or follow. Happiness is yours just listen and accept the blessings that surround you. Amen! May grace, serenity and peace be yours always!

You cannot review a house of worship. Suffice it to say that this is the Cathedral for Renoread more

It was a hoot. Great job by Moana Nursery and their staff in educating kids about planting a gardening, the importance of ladybugs, value of carnivorous plants, creating floral arrangements, and making home bird treats.

Bamboo Boutique and Gifts is a small gift shop but a diamond in the rough. If you need a "forgive…read moreme" gift for that special someone because you "messed" up and came home with lipstick on your collar, this is the best place to find "special" gifts that will assist in the reconciliation process. Interestingly enough, there is a large selection of lucky bamboo so if you don't think the "special" gift is necessarily going to work, you can get a bunch of luck boosting items that may make the difference between sleeping in your bed versus in your car. Seriously though, at least stop by to check out the selection of cool and interesting items and chat with the sweet lady behind the counter (she treated me like an auntie would). If you can't find what you're looking for, "auntie" can probably get it so don't hesitate to ask!

(You can find their class schedule on the web and I would definitely say that is worth a look-see!) There is parking right in front of the store and it is just off S Virginia St, easy to find. The reason for the three stars has to do with inventory. This is not a large shop so one has to consider space available for merchandise. However, there was not much of a selection and the prices were fairly high. I realize that it is becoming harder to run a brick and mortar store front everyday, but I found the merchandise to be "stale" and dated. (ie: no latest tarot decks, books, etc.) I also felt like if I were to return in a month or so, it would look much as it did the day I visited, with the same merchandise in the same place. It may be that "Mystic Rose" concentrates more on the classes and readings and such, but that's not why I came. I miss the well-stocked metaphysical shops of the past and would love to see a sample tarot deck or book before I purchase it... I guess those days are gone.

I had time to peruse the selections thoroughly. I particularly enjoyed the large selection of crystals, and the availability of guides and books that explain how to use the crystals. I ended up buying a hunk of Angelite, and I'm happy that I did. Their selection of divination cards is small, but, again, a nice variety. In particular, I was pleased to see that they carry the Animal Wisdom Cards. I complimented the store owner on this, and we had a nice conversation about the uses and power of this particular deck. There are a few more items upstairs. There is a large second room that is used for classes. I only had a few short days in Nevada, which precluded taking any classes. If I were in Reno for a longer visit, I would definitely want to sample a class or a reading. Small, yes, but a solid, representative selection of various items. You'll never find everything in the world here, but you'll get a nice variety and/or introduction.
