About St Matthew's Catholic Church
St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Sidney, Montana has served the local Catholic community since 1917, originally dedicated to St. Philomena before being rededicated to St. Matthew in 1962 as the parish grew. The church began as a mission served by traveling priests and has since developed into the mother church overseeing four additional missions throughout Richland County. Under the pastoral leadership of Fr. Jim O'Neil, St. Matthew's describes itself as a welcoming Catholic community called to live out Christ's message in love and service to all people. The parish offers daily Mass Tuesday through Friday, along with a rotating Sunday schedule across its five parishes, and provides religious education programs including RCIA for those interested in learning more about the Catholic faith. The church building and adjacent parish center are located in downtown Sidney and remain active centers for worship, education, and community life.
