St Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church

What St Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church does

Ss. Cyril and Methodius Parish is a Roman Catholic parish church located at 120 W Riggs St in East Helena, Montana, operating within the Diocese of Helena. The parish was established with cornerstone laid in 1895 and church dedicated on July 23, 1899, constructed using native red porphyry donated by T.C. Power. The original building was rebuilt after the 1935 earthquakes, and a new multi-faceted parish facility was dedicated in June 1989 at an estimated cost of $1,200,000 under Father Mavsar's leadership. A Sanctuary renovation was completed in 2023 with an Altar Consecration Mass.

The parish delivers a standard Catholic service portfolio: weekend Mass (Saturday Vigil 4:30 PM, Sunday 8:00 AM and 10:15 AM), weekday Mass (Monday/Wednesday/Friday 12:00 PM, Thursday 6:30 AM), Reconciliation (Wednesday following noon Mass and Saturday 9:45-11 AM at St. Helena Cathedral), Faith Formation for K-6th grade students, Youth Ministry, Music Ministry, and community fellowship activities. Religious education tuition is set at $25 per student with a $75 family maximum cap, plus a $5 per-child ancillary fee. The parish operates with approximately 16 employees including an Administrator (Fr. Kilian McCaffrey), Deacon, Business/Operations Manager (Denice Volesky), DRE, Pastoral Ministers, Youth Minister, and Music Director.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary parish contributions: in-person tithes and offerings during Mass, online donations via the GiveCentral platform (previously ParishSOFT), and nominal religious education tuition. Two historic mission churches — St. John's at Clancy and Our Lady of the Lake at Canyon Ferry — are currently suspended but historically affiliated. The technology footprint is minimal, consisting of a Squarespace-hosted website, GiveCentral integration for donations, email, and phone communications; no AI, mobile app, or proprietary technology is in use.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• St. Patrick's Co-Cathedral (Billings, MT): Co-Cathedral of the Diocese of Helena and a larger regional Catholic center with broader sacramental and formation programs. A broader incumbent peer operating in the same diocesan structure but with a wider catchment and more extensive programming than Ss. Cyril and Methodius.

Regional players

• St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (Clancy, MT): Originally a mission church under Ss. Cyril and Methodius (land acquired 1900, schoolhouse-converted church), now a suspended former mission. Listed as a peer in the regional/historical sense because of its prior organizational relationship and shared Catholic-parish model in the same Diocese of Helena.
• Our Lady of the Lake (Canyon Ferry, MT): Former mission church of Ss. Cyril and Methodius dedicated in 1982 on Canyon Ferry Lake, currently suspended. Regional peer in the same diocese sharing a worship and community-service model, historically affiliated with the subject parish.

Direct peers

• Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church: Neighbor Catholic parish in the Helena Valley where Ss. Cyril and Methodius holds its Sunday 6:00 PM Mass. Most direct geographic and operational peer: same Diocese of Helena, similar congregation size, similar Mass/formation/youth ministry offerings, and a shared inter-parish service arrangement.
• Resurrection Parish (Bozeman, MT): Catholic parish in the Diocese of Helena with comparable weekend/weekly Mass schedule, K-8 faith formation, and youth ministry. Peer due to same diocese, similar staffing/program structure, and similar reliance on tithes plus online giving.

It is the most direct peer: same diocese, same Catholic worship and formation model, similar parish-scale sacramental programming, and an established inter-parish relationship.
• Holy Family Parish (Great Falls, MT): Diocese of Helena Catholic parish with a parallel service mix: weekend Mass, religious education, youth ministry, and pastoral care. Comparable as a mid-size Montana Catholic parish with similar operational and revenue model.
• St. Ann's Parish (Butte, MT): Historic Diocese of Helena Catholic parish with similar small-city profile and full parish programming. Peer because of same diocese, similar age and community-anchor positioning, and parallel Mass/formation/youth ministry offerings.
