Watch List: Saints Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church, Rock Springs

Saints Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church has long been a cornerstone of north-side Rock Springs. Its tall bell tower and century-old craftsmanship make it one of the community’s most recognizable landmarks, shaping the city’s skyline. The church and the rectory were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Now, the Diocese of Cheyenne is moving to relegate the church, removing the building from sacred use. With the building’s future suddenly uncertain, residents are rallying to save a place that has meant so much to the community for generations and continues to serve as a local soup kitchen.
