Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, Catholic church in Rock Springs, United States
Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, also known as South Side Catholic Church, is a Romanesque-style church built in 1932 at A Street and Broadway in Rock Springs, Wyoming. It was designed by the Boston firm Maginnis and Walsh, with James Libby as supervising architect.
The building was designed in 1932 by the architectural firm Maginnis & Walsh following principles of Catholic church design. It arose during a period when such structures shaped religious life across Wyoming.
The church reflects the influence of European immigrants, particularly Irish Catholics, who shaped the religious life of the town in the early 1900s. Their presence continues to mark the identity of the community today.
The church stands at the corner of A Street and Broadway in Rock Springs, on the city's south side. Visitors should check the parish's current Mass and office times before planning a look inside, since the building is an active place of worship rather than a monument open all day.
The parish was known as the South Side Catholic Church, paired with a Polish counterpart parish on Rock Springs' north side. That split reflects how the town's European immigrant groups, Irish on the south side and Polish on the north, each kept their own church.
