Did you know that in Sheridan, the first Catholic Church was built in 1888, located at 137 Wyoming Avenue? In 1914, Holy Name Catholic School was constructed under the direction of the church's first pastor, Reverend John Duffy, who raised the funds from Sheridan residents. It was Father Duffy who invited the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth to teach at Holy Name School. The school was built at a cost of 18,000 dollars and was located on East Works Street. The school's enrollment in its first year was ninety students. Father Duffy dreamed of a day when all of the parrish's children would be able to attend Holy Name School.

Catholic Schools Week: January 31 - February 5: We started off the weekend with a total of 75 HNCS students serving at one of the 4 weekend Masses in some capacity: readers, choir, altar servers, skits/presentations, taking up the gifts, etc. They did a fantastic job! Thank you for your support int his endeavor. We had a fair response following the weekend Masses with people coming over to the school. We plan to set up the classroom display boards after the Masses this coming weekend for those who were unable to view them at the school.

David Johnson, Superintendent of Catholic Schools and Deacon Vernon Dobelmann, both from Cheyenne, visited each of the classrooms and distributed medals to each student on behalf of Bishop Etienne.

We will continue with our weeklong activities to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. A copy of the week's activities was attached to last week's newsletter and is posted on our webpage.
