History
Limited sources are available regarding the specific founding and historical development of St. John the Baptist Parish in Lovelock. The Diocese of Reno, within which the parish is located, was established in 1931 as a separate diocese carved from the Diocese of Sacramento, encompassing the state of Nevada north of the 38th parallel.[1] Catholic communities in small Nevada towns such as Lovelock generally trace their origins to itinerant mission priests who served scattered ranching, railroad, and mining populations before permanent parish structures were established. No confirmed founding date, founding pastor, or construction history specific to St. John the Baptist Parish is documented in the sources available for this article.
