Holy Family is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Reno, located in Yerington, Nevada. The parish serves Catholics in Lyon County in a rural stretch of western Nevada, and is dedicated to the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Saint Joseph.
As a diocesan territorial parish, Holy Family is not operated by a religious order and functions under the direct pastoral oversight of the Diocese of Reno.

No confirmed founding date for the parish is documented in available sources.
History
Limited documentation on the founding and early history of Holy Family Parish is publicly available. The parish is listed in the Diocese of Reno's official parish directory at its current address, 103 North West Street in Yerington, Nevada.[1] No confirmed founding date, founding pastor, or construction history for the current church building is documented in available sources.
Yerington and the surrounding Lyon County region were served by Catholic missionaries from the earliest days of Nevada's mining and ranching settlement in the nineteenth century, as the Diocese of Reno's predecessor jurisdictions extended pastoral care to small rural communities across the state. Specific early records connecting this broader missionary history to the establishment of Holy Family Parish itself have not been located in available sources.
