Welcome to St. Patrick's Co-Cathedral Website!
St. Patrick's Co-Cathedral is the mother church for the Yellowstone River valley. With 600 families, ours is a friendly Catholic faith community whose membership comes from all across the valley. St. Patrick's has been calling people to prayer and Christian service since the first settlers arrived. Open all day, every day, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., the church is part of the walking tour of historic downtown Billings. It is handicapped accessible and guided tours are available by appointment. We welcome you to our services or to visit our buildings.
Historic St. Patrick's is a diverse, welcoming, Catholic community committed to gathering as a sacramental family sharing our faith in ministry and Christian service.
FEASTS OF STS. PETER AND PAUL
On June 29, the church celebrates the feast of the two great apostles: Peter and Paul. According to tradition, the morning of June 29 of the year 64 A.D. Peter and Paul were taken from their common cell at Rome’s Mamertino prison and separated. Artists through the ages have dwelt on their goodbye, often depicting the last embrace between the two friends. Peter’s journey was from the weakness of denial to the rock of fidelity. He gave us the ultimate witness of the cross. Paul’s pilgrimage was from the blindness of persecution to the fire of proclamation. He made the Word of God come alive for the nations. Together they worked to build the church. Together they witnessed to Christ. Together they suffered the death of their Lord, death at murderous hands. Paul died by the sword and Peter was crucified upside down. They had a unity which transcended all differences. For Peter and Paul, insight into Jesus’ true identity brought new demands and responsibilities. They taught us about the depths of Christian commitment. Let us pray for a small portion of their boldness, genius, power, courage and commitment in our own lives. |
