- We are attempting to establish a method of communication with as many parishioners as possible during this period of "stay at home." We are now asking you for critical information: email, cell phone numbers, and home phone number (if it has changed) so we can keep a more efficient line of communication with parishioners. This is for our parish only and will not be shared with anyone outside the parish. Please call ((307) 587-3388) or email the Parish Office with this information. Thank you!
