We the people of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church are called to be holy and to serve all people faithfully with compassion and respect

We strive to educate our parishioners, especially the youth. We offer Religious Education for all sacraments.

Those who educate themselves in the teachings of the Lord are empowered by the Holy Spirit to participate in the holy sacraments of the Church.

We take everything we learn and share it with the world, through our various ministries.

Fr. Thomas J. Horgan, a young priest from Ireland, lays the foundation for the original church on Pyramid Way and F Street in Sparks, Nevada. For the next 63 years, Immaculate Conception will be the only Catholic parish in Sparks.
Original church burns down from candles left lighted on the altar. Fr. Patrick Meehan serves the needs of Catholics by celebrating Mass in the local Engineers’ Hall until the church can be rebuilt.
After two years of construction, Bishop Thomas Gorman dedicates the new $20,000 church. The Catholic Herald of Sacramento calls it “a gem of Romanesque architecture.”
Immaculate Conception purchases and installs the bell from a firehouse located on the Virginia City and Gold Hill divide. The bell is estimated to have been cast in the early 1800’s. The same bell rings in the present-day church.
As a part of an interior renovation, 21 beautiful stained-glass windows are installed. These windows will remain in the Immaculate Conception community to the present day.
Father Norman King becomes pastor. Shortly afterwards, construction begins on a large new church on Pyramid Way and North McCarran Boulevard. Construction will take three years to complete.
Construction of the new church is completed.
Construction begins on the new Faith Formation building on the east end of the campus. Construction completed in 2007.
