We are thrilled to announce that Fr. Andrew has been officially installed as priest of both St. Joseph’s and Sacred Heart Parish! His installation Mass on October 10th was a beautiful and joyful occasion, presided over by Bishop Steven Biegler. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and supported Fr. Andrew on this special day. We are excited to begin this new chapter with him as our priest and look forward to growing together in faith. Let us continue to pray for him as he begins his pastoral journey with us!

Even though I've already been here at St. Joseph's and Sacred Heart for 2 months, this moment was the liturgical moment of officially becoming Pastor, a role and office that I am honored to be able to have in order to serve you all. The feeling of welcome was palpable and I feel so blessed to be at two parishes with such good people who love the Lord and love this community. Big Horn County is blessed by having you here and I am so grateful to join these wonderful communities. Please pray for me that I may remain close to the Lord as our Shepherd, that I may radiate God the Father's generous love in my ministry and that the Holy Spirit guide always guide my actions. Know of my prayers for you too as we journey together in this pilgrimage to life everlasting!
