Diocese of Reno 22nd Annual Recognition Appreciation Banquet
The celebration evening was held on April 25, 2025 at the Atlantis Resort Casino and the attendees enjoyed an evening to remember. Recognition is given annually through each parish and school to volunteers who go above and beyond the ask. Bishop Daniel Mueggenborg presents the recognition for their service and commitment to the Diocese of Reno. Awards were announced by Matthew Schambari and Anthony Bedoy from the Chancery.
