Mission of St. Alfonsus is a small Catholic mission of the Diocese of Reno, located in the unincorporated community of Paradise, Nevada, in Humboldt County. Dedicated to Saint Alfonsus (Saint Alphonsus Liguori, the eighteenth-century Italian bishop, moral theologian, and founder of the Redemptorists), the mission serves a sparsely populated stretch of rural northern Nevada.
Though listed among the diocese's parish communities as a territorial parish, its name and small scale reflect the pattern common to Nevada's rural Catholic communities, where a mission chapel serves outlying ranching and farming settlements too small to support a resident pastor and is instead attended from a nearby parish.
No confirmed founding date, dedicated pastor, or website is documented in available sources for this mission.
History
Limited sources are available regarding the specific founding and early history of the Mission of St. Alfonsus in Paradise, Nevada. The community lies within the vast rural territory of the Diocese of Reno, which was established to serve Catholics across much of northern Nevada, including remote ranching valleys such as the Paradise Valley area of Humboldt County. No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, and the mission does not appear to maintain a dedicated parish website or independently documented institutional history.
Special features
