Sustained by God's grace, Wyoming Catholic College is going strong

God’s Grace Sustains Wyoming Catholic | Daily News | NCRegister.com: Administrators and alumni of Wyoming Catholic College have only God to thank for the school’s unlikely survival and success.

The college began teaching students in the fall of 2007, only months before the country entered the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Even established Catholic institutions began having trouble luring and maintaining gifts and tuition. Skeptics didn’t give the start-up a lot of hope.

Just more than five years later, graduates have embarked upon successful careers and are pursuing post-graduate degrees. Four have entered religious vocations, and two in this spring’s graduating class plan to join their ranks.
