in what this article calls "The Rocky Mountains" even though the Rockies are not in fact in the location mentioned.
The Tetons are closest range.
But apparently, in Colorado and elsewhere in the GOARCH Metropolis of Denver, parishes are booming
Why not find some True Orthodox people to start missions in the region ?
Perhaps Jackson, Wyoming, for example - a very wealthy area of retirees and athletics enthusiasts, particularly skiers.
Or else Idaho Falls, Idaho, an economically booming area.

Re: World Orth parishes growing quickly
Fr Chad of ROCANA started a mission in Cody, WY.
“We’re holding onto our Orthodoxy by our fingernails.”
Re: World Orth parishes growing quickly
Oh really ? I was thinking about that area when i was typing, but i figured it was not populated enough.
That's where the Carmelite Monastery is, so now Cody has some national fame.
When did the mission start ? How is it doing ? I'm so glad to hear that !
