Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 8: Diocese of Reno
Nevada was originally split in two vertically, with the western half belonging to Sacramento and the eastern half falling under Salt Lake City. in 1931 they were merged into the Diocese of Reno, which covered the entire state. It was the largest diocese (in area) in the continental US.
In 1976, it was renamed Reno-Las Vegas to denote the latter city's growth, but was removed in 1995 when Las Vegas was spun off into its own diocese. Today it has 37 priests to cover over 70,000 square miles. I hope they get mileage.
