Corpus Christi is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Reno, serving Catholics in and around Carson City, Nevada. The parish takes its name from the feast of Corpus Christi, honoring the Body and Blood of Christ present in the Eucharist, and its mailing address places its current church building in Douglas County, near Carson City.
The parish traces its roots to the late 1940s, when it began serving Catholics in the Carson Valley area, including the community around the Stewart Indian School. Over the following decades the parish moved from its original stone church to a newly built church on North Sunridge Drive, where it continues to worship today.
Corpus Christi Parish is not associated with a religious order and functions as a diocesan territorial parish under the pastoral oversight of the Bishop of Reno.
History
According to the Diocese of Reno, Corpus Christi Parish was established in late 1949, with its first Mass celebrated in 1950 in a stone church built on land belonging to the Bureau of Land Management, which served the Stewart Indian School community near Carson City.[1]
As the surrounding community grew, the parish eventually relocated to a new church building on North Sunridge Drive in Douglas County, which held its first Mass in July 2009.[2] The Diocese of Reno's official Parish Finder confirms the parish's current location at 3597 North Sunridge Drive, Carson City, Nevada.[3]
In June 2025, the parish marked its 75th anniversary with a jubilee celebration, reflecting on its origins serving the Stewart Indian School area and its subsequent growth into its present home in Douglas County.[4]
