St. John Bosco is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Reno, located in Battle Mountain, a small community in Lander County, Nevada. The parish is dedicated to Saint John Bosco, the nineteenth-century Italian priest known for his work with poor and disadvantaged youth and his founding of the Salesian order.
Situated in a sparsely populated stretch of north-central Nevada, St. John Bosco serves Catholics in and around Battle Mountain, a mining and ranching town along the Interstate 80 corridor. As with many rural parishes in the Diocese of Reno, it ministers to a small, geographically dispersed congregation.
The parish is listed among the diocese's active parish communities, with its mailing address and contact information maintained through the Diocese of Reno's parish directory.[1]
