The permanent campus for Wyoming Catholic College is yet to be built on the vast and beautiful Broken Anvil Ranch. While the campaign to raise the funds necessary for this permanent campus has yet to begin, we have been blessed with an interim campus: the parish of Holy Rosary Church (pictured here), located on the southern edge of the town.

Here, our program will be offered in its entirety until adequate facilities have been constructed at the permanent campus. During this interim period, everything essential to the WCC curriculum is being provided to our students at the Holy Rosary campus—all courses and programs described in the Wyoming Catholic College Catalog are offered, and everything pertinent to implementing our vision is accommodated (though not as conveniently as it will be on the permanent campus).

The interim campus at Holy Rosary Church is close to Lander’s downtown, allowing easy access on foot or bicycle to its specialty shops, book stores, restaurants and cafes, as well as such educational locations as the NOLS headquarters, the Lander Art Center, and the Fremont County Library. Yet the parish, set off on its own ample property, is blessed with the contemplative peace and quiet so necessary for the common life of students and teachers.

The church is the religious center for liturgies and devotional exercises throughout the school year. Students are encouraged to participate in the WCC Liturgical Choir. The church grounds are spacious and beautifully landscaped, with pleasant walks in the vicinity. The buildings are architecturally inviting and provide an apt setting for our initial years. Students attend classes in the religious education building, and the church’s dining hall provides daily food service. Six new residences were built during the summer of 2009, housing approximately 90 students. (The buildings are portable and may be transferred to the permanent campus at a later date.)

The St. Scholastica and St. Benedict Residences – additional student housing – are a ten minute walk from the interim campus grounds. The walk leads along a peaceful side road, and passes Dillon Park with its basketball courts, as well as grassy fields for soccer, flag football, and other intramural sports.

The Baldwin Building in downtown Lander houses faculty offices, several classrooms, a large library and lounge, and a cafe. It also houses a book store, and is conveniently located in the heart of Lander's "Old West" Main Street.

Wyoming Catholic College’s outdoor programs are operated from our interim site in Lander, as well. Until we have built the stables and the indoor and outdoor riding arenas (which are included in the first phase of the campus construction), WCC’s Equestrian Program takes place three mornings a week at nearby Central Wyoming College, the state's premier riding school.
