St. Philip's Catholic Church & ELCA Peace Lutheran Fellowship, Basin Wyoming



A few photographs below I had a photo of a combined Presbyterian and Methodist congregation in Thermopolis Wyoming, and here we have an example of a Church that serves, or at least at one time served, both Lutheran and Catholic congregations.  This is St. Philip's Catholic Church in Basin.  Dual congregations like this are unusual, but not completely unprecedented. St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Casper, for example, at one time also served the Greek Orthodox community there prior the Greek Orthodox Church in Casper being built.  This one is a bit more unusual as it served Catholic and Protestant congregations.  Apparently right now no Catholic masses are being offered here, however, and the Catholic community is being served by the nearby church in Greybull

Sometimes churches are extraordinarily hard to photograph because of external features, and this one fits that category.  The very large pine trees in the front make photographing this church a difficult task and this photograph is not the best.
