We live in a world in which our knowledge of the past is fragmented, in which we are isolated from one another, and in which we are often even alienated from ourselves.
But Wyoming Catholic College has founded an intentionally coherent academic community to help heal this fragmentation and isolation. At Wyoming Catholic College, students are immersed in the natural world, which strengthens character, and immersed in the great books.
Students live in a real community of authentic friendship. Freed from the distraction of devices that connect us to those who are far away, students learn how to be present to one another, learn the slow patient habits of a quiet mind, and learn to pray.
Wyoming Catholic College seeks to restore a vision of the whole. Without Wyoming Catholic college we would lose a coherent vision of life and a bold attempt to live out truth in beauty and joy.
Thank you for your generosity.

Throughout the Bible, God uses the solitude, silence, beauty, and challenges of the wilderness to bring about spiritual transformation. Psalm 19 (quoted above) celebrates the way God reveals Himself: first in creation (verses 1-6) and second in the Holy Scriptures (verses 7-14).
WCC students study and encounter God in both creation and Scripture, cultivating a deep sense of wonder. They experience what Pope St. John Paul II described in his general audience of January 26, 2000, “Nature therefore becomes a Gospel that speaks to us of God: ‘For from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator’” [Wisdom 13:5].
Why A Circle of Twelve Stars?
Like most educational institutions, the tuition paid by our students is not sufficient to cover the annual operating expenses of our program. The Twelve Stars Circle was instituted to provide part of the annual resources needed to support our critical mission of a Catholic Liberal Arts education. This giving circle is not only a reminder of our reliance on our Patroness—Our Lady Seat of Wisdom—but is imperative to the success of Wyoming Catholic College. Its members let us know that they are standing beside us, working for the future of our country, our society, and our Church, and we count on their monthly support as we work together to sustain the future of Liberal Arts education in Wyoming.
How Does It Work?
When you sign up using the form below, your monthly gift will automatically be made to Wyoming Catholic College via your bank account or credit card (on the date you select). No appeal letters, no checks, no stamps. Just ongoing, sustaining support of our extraordinary model of Catholic higher education. Say “Yes” to becoming a member of The Twelve Stars Circle; say “Yes!” to the future of Wyoming Catholic College.
