This decision was made after participating in a conference call with Governor Gordon, the Wyoming Department of Health and other leaders of faith-based organizations in Wyoming.

Parish offices will remain open for now.

Further directives, regarding other parish activities, will follow this week.

“While the celebration of the Eucharist is the source and summit of parish life, the need to protect public health is paramount at this time,” Bishop Steven Biegler said. “We continue to pray for all of those who are ill, especially those affected by COVID-19 and for healthcare workings and first responders.”

The Diocese of Cheyenne will continue to monitor the situation and will share updates as they are available.
