I traveled to Casper, Wyoming today for the second annual Catholic Rural Life Mass and dinner. It was a beautiful day to celebrate the work of farmers and ranchers and to give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of creation entrusted our care.
After Mass and dinner I also had the opportunity to do a little sightseeing. In my nearly seven years of living in Wyoming I had heard the words Alcova and Pathfinder numerous times but had never been to these places. That changed today. The beauty of God’s creation is amazing.
A stop at Independence Rock was also part of the journey home.
It was a full weekend with a Catechist Workshop in Worland on Saturday and the Catholic Rural Life celebration today in Casper. The Church is full of life and vitality as we prepare to enter into a new academic year.
Next Stop–I am presenting a day-long retreat for the faculty and staff of Holy Spirit Catholic School in Rock Springs, Wyoming this week.
