1904
Fr. Horgan, a young priest from Ireland, lays the foundation for the orig
inal 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. Patrick Meehan serves the needs of Catholics by celebrating Mass in the local Engineers' Hall until the church can be rebuilt.
1932
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."
1941
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.
