St. Mary’s in the Mountains. "The first Catholic Church in Nevada was built in Virginia City in 1860. A wooden edifice, it collapsed in heavy winds the first winter. The first brick church was built on the current site in 1868, under the direction of Father Patrick Manogue, only to survive a few years before burning along with the majority of Virginia City in the “Great Fire” of October 1875."
