The Gove County Catholic Parishes will be publishing a Photo Directory.

We encourage all families and individuals to have their picture taken for our Photo Directory. Along with your picture being taken, we ask that you update your contact information so the parish has your correct phone numbers and email.

All families or individuals who have their picture taken will receive a Family Portrait Directory, a free 8 x 10 portrait, and a free Mobile Directory app for each adult member. Portrait packages of additional sizes will be available to purchase with sizes ranging from wallet size to 20” x 24”.

Customizable options are available. Online and in-person sign-up will be available.

Online sign-up will begin the weekend of January 28-29, 2023. In-person signup will be held following Mass on February 11th - 12th, 18th - 19th, 22nd, and 25th - 26th.
