NEW: Pray the Rosary with St. Barbara's Parish Family

Diocese of Cheyenne temporarily suspends Masses due to COVID-19
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cheyenne has temporarily suspended all Masses, including daily Masses, effective March 17. 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 workers and first responders.”

The Diocese of Cheyenne will continue to monitor the situation and will share updates as they are available. http://diocesesofcheyenne.org/covid19/

As St. Barbara's Church receives more information, we will update here.

NOTICE 3/20/2020

UPDATE: 3/26/2020: During this difficult time, we are doing are best to get information out to our parishioners. We will post bulletins on the website as usual. We will also add any new information from the Diocese as soon as it is available. It is very important for us to serve our vulnerable elderly population as well. Many of these parishioners may not have internet access, or cell phones. If you know of people who fall under this area, please send an email to the parish with their names, and if possible, addresses and home phone number. We hope to develop a plan to be sure that they are being attended to.

After a conference call with all of the priests and the Bishop, it has been determined that the Chapel should remain closed. The church will be open every day, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. People are welcome to pray in the church; it is recommended that to maintain a 6 foot distance between people. Fr. Phil will celebrate Mass privately each day. The previously scheduled intentions will be used at those Masses.

Fr. Phil will visit the sick in emergency situations only for the time being. The Parish Office is now closed to the public. Please see notice above. You are still welcome to call with any questions and concerns. Fr. Phil wants to stay connected to you! Feel free to leave a message and someone WILL return your call.

Most importantly, let us join together as a family in prayer to ask God’s protection and guidance. Please be patient, and know that we are doing our best to serve the people of God. People are asking about how to get their donations to the church. The mailing address is PO Box 818, the Parish office remains open Tues-Fri 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is also an online donation option on our website. Thank you for your continued support, as we will continue to have bills to pay.

Family Prayers:

Marriage Prayer:

Almighty and Eternal God,
You blessed the union of married couples so that they might reflect the union of Christ with his Church: look with kindness on them. Renew their marriage covenant, increase our love in them, and strengthen their bond of peace so that, with their children, they may always rejoice in the gift of your blessing. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN

~USCCB

Prayer for peace in family:

Lord, be with my family. Grant us your peace and harmony, an end to conflict and division. Gift us with compassion to better understand each other, wisdom and love to assist each other, and trust and patience to live together. Grant that through the intercession of your mother, Mary and St. Joseph, our family may become a holy family accepting each other working together in unity, selflessly dedicated to one another and to You, Lord. AMEN

Lord, Jesus, you love each of us individually with a unique and personal love. Touch my life with your saving power, heal and restore me to fullness of life. Help me to give wholly of myself in loving service to others. AMEN

Bless Our Marriage:

We thank You, O God, for the love You have implanted in our hearts. May it always inspire us to be kind in our words, considerate of feelings, and concerned for each other's needs and wishes. Help us to be understanding and forgiving of human weakness and failings. Increase our faith and trust in You and may Your prudence guide our life and love. Bless our marriage, O God with peace and happiness, and make our love fruitful for your glory and our joy both here and in eternity.
