Some of you will recall that I visited Wyoming Catholic College last winter. I found it splendid.
Here is an update from the WCC blog (in case you know young people trying to figure out where to go to college).
They might have called it “Theology on Top”.

I’m shocked. Wyoming is the state where they make Mystic Monk Coffee and you didn’t even mention it.
I figured it was only a matter of time before someone else did!
One of my son’s personality traits is that he likes to be doing things physically, not really the contemplative, sitting-still type (though he manages to get straight As regardless). This kind of a class would be right up his alley!
Not that I mind that much, but there is music on this site which seems to automatically start playing after an initial delay of a couple minutes. I had to tab around to figure out where it was coming from. I don’t see anything that indicates something is being played, but it appears to be coming from the ZCam/RadioSabina widget.
I wouldn’t mind teaching there, if an opportunity came!
Speaking of [cue music] Mystic Monks coffee… what is the “theme song” or “cue music” for Mystic Monks coffee?
Once I had the opportunity in a private setting to listen to Bishop Ricken talking about the founding of Wyoming Catholic College. It seems that Divine Providence was behind them all the way – and I was very impressed with Bishop Ricken as a man of faith and of very solid doctrine and clear ideas. God bless him and WCC!
Life on the Rock, on EWTN did an hour and half show on location from WCC two weeks ago. I think you can still get it somehow on EWTN. It was very informative and told the story of God’s guiding hand throughout the process. I hope one of my kids wants to attend.
newtrad-I watched that same program via the ‘YouTube’ section on EWTN’s website! I enjoyed it very much! What great students who attend WCC! They’re the future of the Church in the US!
That website for EWTN’s broadcast about WCC is here: http://www.youtube.com/EWTN#p/search/0/MaECnDZwOsk
As a very satisfied parent of a freshman who loves it so much she is exhibiting few symptoms of homesickness, I highly recommend Wyoming Catholic College!
