St. Joseph, St. John & St. Matthias

The pandemic is a reminder that we should keep death before us and remember that we will die and face judgement.  That shouldn't make us fearful, but instead should draw us into faith with a deep confidence and trust in our merciful God.  Has it been a long time since you've gone to Confession?  May you have the courage to come back to Jesus!  Are you not sure what to do?  Here is an examination of conscience and a guide and some encouragement.  Normal Confession times are every Saturday at 5pm in Choteau, before Mass in Augusta, and after Mass on December 20 in Fairfield.  Please call Fr. Yovin to make an appointment if you need to avoid crowds!!

Make an angel for St. John's light display!  Check out pictures and make yours!  Celebrate the saints and feasts of  December.  Look at the options and see if you can plan for 2 of them this month -- make living our faith in our homes a celebration all year long!  To sign-up for this year's faith formation program, please submit this google form.

The 2020 Annual Catholic Appeal has begun.  Thank you for supporting our Diocese!! Click here for more information.
