RADIX Adventures integrates the raw, intense, and difficult wilderness experience with the foundations of our faith in the context of a 6-day backpacking adventure. We will celebrate mass each morning and dig into our rich Catholic tradition each evening while covering 5-7 miles of wilderness trail, climbing mountains, catching Cuttrhoat Trout, and learning wilderness survival skills during the day. New to 2025, we are so taking families on a canoe trip down the Missouri River breaks.

Parishioners, Shannon and Lon Smith, are offering a trip to Italy for St. Matthew’s and Risen Christ Parishes. This will be a private sightseeing excursion to Rome, Assisi, Venice and Florence. There will also be elements of a pilgrimage for those families/individuals who decide to take advantage of the opportunities provided. The trip will be offered Spring Break (March) 2026. Our first travel meeting is Thursday, April 24th at 7PM in the Doran Center.

The Board of Directors at Knight’s Radio is pleased to announce that Saint Gabriel Radio will soon be on the air. Because of the generous donations received from parishioners and non-parishioners, we have exceeded our initial fundraising goals and have purchased all the equipment needed. Saint Gabriel Radio’s mission is to spread the Good News of the Gospel to every person in the valley in order to help save souls. We are planning to be transmitting on 107.1 FM using the call sign KOFC-LP by Easter Sunday. More information will be forthcoming. We look forward to serving each of you, helping you and your families grow in your faith. Please pray for this ministry’s success.

Parishioners in the Diocese of Helena have been presented with two campaigns in this past year. The information about each campaign was presented and made available to the Catholic faithful. In this information age, however, we are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of it all that we sometimes filter out what is otherwise important to us. Here is a brief clarifying statement comparing and contrasting the two campaigns.

The Holy Mass is the most powerful prayer we can offer to God the Father. In the Mass we are praying as a community of faith, mystically as the Body of Christ. In that same sacred moment, Christ, our Head, offers Himself as the supreme sacrifice to the Father. It is within this context of pure sacrificial love that it is most suitable that we, who are forever bound in love with another who has passed from this life to the next, beseech God to take our loved one to Himself. For this purpose, we may request that a Mass be offered for the repose of the soul of our loved one. The priest that is celebrating the Mass, and is present in Persona Christe, quietly makes this offering during the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is a most powerful expression of our bonds of love. The parish will provide a prayer card to the requester to commemorate the Mass and may be communicated as a loving and faith-filled gift to the family of the loved one. Requests and prayer cards may be obtained at the parish office.
